    FREE DAVID HARE PLAYS 1: SLAG; TEETH N SMILES; KNUCKLE; LICKING HITLER; PLENTY PDF David Hare | 496 pages | 01 Apr 1996 | FABER & FABER | 9780571177417 | English | London, United Kingdom David Hare Plays 1 | Faber & Faber Plenty is a play by David Harefirst performed inabout British post-war disillusion. 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.

  • The Plays of David Hare Carol Homden Excerpt More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-41715-0 - The Plays of David Hare Carol Homden Excerpt More information Introduction: a statement of departure David Hare's production of King Lear opened in the Olivier Theatre on 14 December 1986 just two weeks after the end of the run of Pravda, and while The Bay at Nice and Wrecked Eggs contin- ued on the Cottesloe stage. In the autumn of 1993, Hare's trilogy on British institutions was scheduled to be performed on a single day. Such domination of the National Theatre is unparalleled in its history, and has no equivalent by a contemporary writer at the Royal Shakespeare Company; it amounts to much more than a res- idency of the kind Hare had at the Royal Court (1969-71) or Nottingham (1973) and assigns to him a privileged position within British theatre. Such status is particularly rare for a dramatist of his generation writing from a 'socialist' perspective and yet, in contrast to many of his contemporaries, Hare's work stands without any comprehen- sive study. The omission is partly explained by Hare's own deliber- ately enigmatic position, but he is also a troublesome and often troubled writer who uses his work as a way of resolving internal tensions, making systematic analysis particularly difficult. Any attempt to provide such a survey of a living and still fertile writer will inevitably be superseded, but Hare will continue to raise two eternal literary and historical problems. How do you find a critical distance on a writer whose existing plays are part of an evolving and uncompleted body of work? And since those works are them- selves an examination of the flux of contemporary experience, how do you find a distance on your own life and times? The answer to the first question has traditionally lain in compar- ison, by looking at Hare in relation to his peer group, and it is this approach which is taken by most existing critical work.

The end of my study is marked by Margaret Thatcher’s consolidation of power in the early eighties and the 1982 Falklands War. My analysis focuses on how these plays represent forms of British national identity that developed during the era of Britain’s imperial strength and how they show these formations changing after World War II.

  • Lancing and After
    LANCING AND AFTER It’s a daunting prospect for anyone to give the first memorial lecture in the name of Evelyn Waugh. All his grateful readers know Waugh as one of the greatest prose stylists of the last 100 years. He was able to write sentences which achieve their effects so perfectly that their construction seems both inevitable and surprising. He was also exhilaratingly funny. In The Anatomy of Melancholy, written in the Seventeenth Century, Robert Burton remarks, in words which will one day apply to the great novelist, ‘Melancholy men of all others are the most witty’. And yet it’s hard to believe that the choice of lecturer tonight would have done much to lift Evelyn Waugh’s spirits. ‘I am by nature a bully and a scold’, he wrote of himself. We may all imagine Waugh’s bullying and scolding upon discovering that a humourless left-wing atheist playwright was being asked to commemorate the supremely amusing conservative Catholic novelist. So let me start by explaining how come this task fell to someone so clearly unsuitable. I was encouraged to take on this talk by Roger Dancey, who was until recently, Headmaster of King Edward’s School Birmingham, and therefore, God help us, in charge of 800 young souls. Those of you who know Roger will recognise all too well his legendary and dangerous charm. This is a man who lay in his cradle sucking his thumb and formulating plans for what he could get other people to do. I had been foolish enough to write an article in praise of the lecture as a form, saying how much I enjoyed listening to lectures, and on occasions even giving them.
