David Hare on oration
I have mixed feelings on David Hare‘s work. Some I like. Skylight, for instance. Some I like, even if I find them a bit overly politicised, like Via Dolorosa and some I don’t like mainly as the political edge, I feel, comes in the way of the story.
Still, he is a formidable writer whether you like his work or not and is important to British theatre.
In this article in the Observer, which is taken from the introduction to his new book on his colected speeches, Hare discusses public speaking and his theatre writing. It sheds some light on why he writes theatre.
