STARRING OLIVIER AWARD WINNING ROGER ALLAM AND NANCY CARROLL AS GLYNDEBOURNE FOUNDER JOHN CHRISTIE AND HIS WIFE AUDREY MILDMAY. STRICTLY LIMITED RUN MUST END SATURDAY 30 JUNE. Audiences have just five weeks left to see David Hare’s critically acclaimed new play The Moderate Soprano, about the love story at the heart of the foundation of Glyndebourne, directed by Jeremy Herrin and starring Olivier Award winners Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll. The production enters its final weeks at the Duke of York’s Theatre where it must end a strictly limited season on Saturday 30 June. The previously untold story of an English eccentric, a young soprano and three refugees from Germany who together established Glyndebourne, one of England’s best loved cultural institutions, has garnered public and critical acclaim alike. The production has been embraced by the Christie family who continue to be involved with the running of Glyndebourne, 84 years after its launch. Executive Director Gus Christie attended the West End opening with his family and praised the portrayal of his grandfather John Christie who founded one of the most successful opera houses in the world. First seen in a sold out run at Hampstead Theatre in 2015, the new production opened in the West End this spring, with Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll reprising their original roles as Glyndebourne founder John Christie and soprano Audrey Mildmay.

The inspiration for Plenty came from the fact that 75 per cent of the women engaged in wartime SOE operations divorced in the immediate post-war years; the title is derived from the idea that the post-war era would be a time of "plenty", which proved untrue for most of England. The play premiered Off-Broadway on 21 Octoberat the Public Theaterwhere it ran for 45 performances. Plenty was revived at Chichester inin the Festival Theatre between June. Susan Traherne, a former secret agent, is a woman conflicted by the contrast between her past, exciting triumphs and her present, more ordinary David Hare Plays 1: Slag; Teeth n Smiles; Knuckle; Licking Hitler; Plenty. However, she regrets the mundane nature of her present life, as the increasingly depressed wife of a diplomat whose career she has destroyed. Susan Traherne's story is told in a non-linear chronologyalternating between her wartime and post-wartime lives, illustrating how youthful dreams rarely are realised and how a person's personal life can affect the outside world.

  • In David Hare's Stuff Happens (2004) Khaled S
    International Letters of Social and Humanistic Sciences Online: 2015-10-29 ISSN: 2300-2697, Vol. 62, pp 73-90 doi:10.18052/www.scipress.com/ILSHS.62.73 CC BY 4.0. Published by SciPress Ltd, Switzerland, 2015 "Coercive Diplomacy" in David Hare's Stuff Happens (2004) Khaled S. Sirwah Department of English, Faculty of Arts, Kafreshikh University, Egypt E-mail address: [email protected]; [email protected] Keywords: coercive diplomacy, conflict, invasion, Iraq’s WMD’s, Saddam Hussein, the UN, the US, Tony Blair, war, 9/11. ABSTRACT This paper addresses George Bush the junior's decision to invade Iraq in 2003 on the plea of its weapons of mass destructions (WMD's), as delineated in David Hare's Stuff Happens (2004), a docudrama depicting the events following the 9/11 attacks and preceding the US’s invasion of Iraq. The paper explains how Bush deals with the opponents—Colin Powell, the British PM Tony Blair, and Hans Blix—opposing his decision, based on "fabricated" evidence, by employing his father's strategy of coercive diplomacy against them, depending on both his faith and his position as President. Drawing on a postcolonial approach, the analysis of Hare's piece has demonstrated two significant aspects: 1) Bush, implementing such a strategy of coercive diplomacy, has succeeded in achieving his private agenda in invading Iraq; 2) Hare is possessed of the dramatic dexterity of mixing fiction (the significant roles of the nameless fictional characters as well as the unnamed narrator-actors) with facts (the main figures of politics) for supporting play’s different conflicts.

Elle se voit confrontée à un universitaire extrémiste, avocat de thèses controversées sur le régime nazi, David Irving (Timothy Spall), qui la met au défi de prouver l’existence de la Shoah. Sûr de son fait, Irving assigne en justice Lipstadt, qui se retrouve dans la situation aberrante de devoir prouver l’existence des chambres à gaz. Comment, en restant dans les limites du droit, faire face à un négationniste prêt à toutes les bassesses pour obtenir gain de cause, et l’empêcher de profiter de cette tribune pour propager ses théories nauséabondes ? NOTES DE PRODUCTION Les producteurs Gary Foster et Russ Krasnoff ont découvert l'existence de Deborah Lipstadt et de ses travaux il y a environ huit ans. "À l'époque, nos enfants, qui ont le même âge, postulaient pour entrer à l'université", se souvient Krasnoff. "Je me renseignais sur Emory University, à Atlanta, où Deborah est professeur d'histoire et d'études juives modernes. L'université venait d'annoncer l'obtention d'un fonds d'un million de dollars pour traduire son site Internet, "HDOT: Holocaust Denial on Trial" [La négation de l'Holocauste devant la justice, NdT], qui recense tous les PV de son procès, en farsi, arabe, russe et turc.
