Asking Around Background To The David Hare Trilogy

Paperback

Condition: Good

Publisher's Synopsis David Hare's trilogy of plays - Racing Demon Murmuring Judges The Absence of War - first presented at the National Theatre London in 1993 examines the crises facing three great British institutions - the Church the Law and the Labour Party. In order to learn about these organisations Hare amassed a body of hard research from first-hand interviews with many of the people involved: from vicars to high-ranking policemen from judges to MPs. Asking Around presents a judicious selection of those interviews and also includes a commentary by Hare describing how he threaded his way through the complex structures of Church Law and Politics.
