AWW23: Hype, Hypocrisy and History Speeding Up - David Hare

Chair: Bob Carr


Sir David Hare, one of the greatest British playwrights of our
time, explores his anxiety that our world has sped up and that
history in this century is a dizzying, unpredictable and
unsettling succession of events. Hare has always imbued the
political with the personal, exposed the aphrodisiac of power and
the creative energy of anger. His latest book, We Travelled:
Essays and Poems, continues his life’s work of arguing against
economic rationalism and the bankers, politicians, plutocrats and
churchmen who profit from it.
