David Hare (2015 Event)

One of the most celebrated writers of his generation, David
Hare’s notable plays include Plenty, Skylight and The Absence of
War. In this event, recorded live at the Edinburgh International
Book Festival, Hare discusses his powerful and often very funny
memoir, The Blue Touch Paper, which takes him from his days as a
student at Oxford through to the 1970s and his early
breakthroughs as a playwright. He talks to fellow playwright and
former Channel 4 Head of Drama, Peter Ansorge.
