Collected Screenplays

by David Hare (Author)

Synopsis

From his early days as a playwright, David Hare has moved deliberately between stage, film and television, over the years building up a repertoire of work, most of which seeks to capture the changing feelings of contemporary life. Now, for the first time, some of Hare's best, and most characteristic, screenplays are collected together in a single volume, confirming his status as one of Britain's most passionate and versatile writers of fiction. This volume also contains an illuminating introduction by the author.
