  Each volume in the About series contains an introduction to a specific writer, which sets his work in the relevant social and political context; a digest of interviews; and a bibliography. Here, Tony Coult offers insights into Brian Friel's work and the practitioners who staged it. Professor Richard Boon offers a rigorous analysis of the work of one of the great post-war British playwrights: David Hare. Boon includes many interviews, including one with the playwright specifically for this book. With the increasing study of the major playwright, whose work attracts the very best of acting talent, this text should be valuable to student and interested theatre-goer alike.
