Obedience, Struggle and Revolt by David Hare
What is a political playwright? Does theatre have any direct effect on society? Why choose to work in a medium which speaks to so few? Is theatre itself facing oblivion? This work aims to address these and other questions in occasional lectures given both in Britain and abroad.
"'It is well written, full of passionate energy and completely unafraid of grappling with ideas and mocking the cant of the dayLong may Hare care enough to write like this.' Aleks Sierz, Independent"
David Hare is one of Britain's most internationally performed playwrights. Born in Sussex in 1947, he had a long association with Britain's National Theatre, which produced eleven of his plays successively between 1978 and 1997. A trilogy about the church, the law and the Labour Party - Racing Demon, Murmuring Judges and The Absence of War - was presented in repertory at the Olivier Theatre in 1993. Nine of his best-known plays, including Plenty, The Secret Rapture, Skylight, The Blue Room, Amy's View, The Judas Kiss and Via Dolorosa - in which he performed - have also been performed on Broadway.
