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.
