Plenty by David Hare
Writer and director David Hare is one of England's leading political dramatists, celebrated for his many award-winning plays analysing the morality of contemporary Britain. This collection comprises BBC Radio dramatisations of some of his most acclaimed pieces.
It opens with his two acknowledged masterpieces: Plenty and Amy's View. These mesmerising dramas, both spanning several decades, present vivid portraits of strong women diminished by circumstance, metaphorically evoking the changing values and collapsing ideals of the post-war period. These are followed by Knuckle, a fast-paced parody of the American hardboiled thriller set in the Home Counties; and Pravda, co-written with Howard Brenton, a satirical comedy about a monstrous media tycoon.
Also included are South Downs, the much acclaimed Chichester Festival production of his play brought to radio, plus the play in which Hare made his acting debut: the powerful monologue Via Dolorosa, a meditation on his extraordinary 1997 trip to Israel and Palestine.
Plenty
Susan Traherne returns to Britain haunted by her experiences as a Resistance fighter in Occupied France. Post-war life seems dull, but Susan's rage against mediocrity and her attempts to find fulfilment not only damage her own life, but alter the lives of those around her.
