Toby Cole - literary agent, KPFA broadcaster May 31, 2008
By the 1960s, Ms. Cole was increasingly representing playwrights, such as Barbara Garson, author of the anti-Vietnam-War satire "MacBird."

Arts council in England taketh (and giveth), leaving anger in its wake Jan 17, 2008
With letters of support pouring in, including one signed by Michael Frayn, Salman Rushdie, Tom Stoppard, Margaret Atwood and David Hare, the Bush is appealing the cut and will learn the council's final decision in February. It is a difficult situation: more than 700 arts organizations would actually see their subsidies rise under the Arts Council's plans, but the Bush joins 193 others art galleries, orchestras, literary groups and the like that face devastating cuts over the next three years.

Theatre audiences deserve the next Ravenhill and Kane Dec 13, 2007
But, despite the inevitable peaks and troughs, new theatre writing has created a mosaic portrait of the past half-century of British life that has not been bettered in any other medium, from the Royal Court dramatists of the late 50s (such as Osborne and Wesker), via state-of-England writers like David Hare and Howard Brenton in the 70s and the remarkable upsurge of women playwrights (including Caryl Churchill and Timberlake Wertenbaker) that followed, to the "in-yer-face" dramatists of the past...

Sizwe Banzi Is Dead Nov 24, 2007
" A play doesn't need to be topical to be immediately relevant. A living playwright may well "be dead from the neck up", says Brook, while a play from another age and civilisation may be very much alive, he says. Under apartheid, he adds, Sophocles's Antigone was popular as a political play about tyranny and resistance. Likewise, a play about homelands and pass books - tools of a system that no longer exists - can resonate just as strongly in a different context. As Brook has delved more deeply...

With a new play opening on Broadway and a revival in London, David Hare s reputation as our saintly moral watchdog is riding high but these days it is neither deserved nor helpful. I once interviewed David Hare, back in 2001 when he was adapting a play by Chekhov ... Witness Amy s View, currently at the Garrick, in which every character is precisely as articulate and reasonable as David Hare, and to which my reaction, like that of the play s antagonist Dominic, is I m swamped in this bloody...

When David Hare s Amy s View was first staged in 1997, most reviewers liked the play but all of them wrote the critical counterpart of love-notes to Judi Dench, who was the robust, assertive West End thespian at the evening s centre. Could Felicity Kendal do half as much justice to maybe the liveliest of all the lively woman characters Hare has created. (The Sunday Times)

Has the novel lost its way? May 30, 2006
While Wolfe, prancing across America, was redefining the novel as a pointless bourgeois genre, back in the UK a fiery sans-culotte, the young David Hare, was also turning his back on what he described as 'the poor old British novel, stuck in the 1950s and which nobody I know bothers to read. As for Fleet Street, the playwright for whom the hairshirt has always been an essential undergarment, rejected the 'casual and half-baked propositions of journalism. (Guardian Unlimited)
- Bonnie Greer on the decline of black theatre in the UK May 17, 2006
In the late 1980s I would have predicted, based on the promise clearly apparent then, that the 21st century would have produced a handful of major, mature black playwrights, nurtured and supported through commissions and productions - just as the late August Wilson was in the US and, say, David Hare has been in this country. I would have expected to see black actors - particularly women - regularly appearing in leading roles. (Guardian Unlimited)
