Description
This is the first full-length survey of one of the leading playwrights of the postwar generation. Through his career as playwright, filmmaker, and director, David Hare has been at the forefront of modern theater and his work is frequently seen as a reflection of the contemporary political and `ocial environment of Britain. In a thorough and fascinating analysis, Carol Homden examines the works of David Hare, including the film versions of Plenty, Pravda, and Wetherby, as well as the plays he has written for the Royal National Theatre. Homden also discusses Hare's most recent plays and identifies a new direction for the playwright.
