[Speaking of Shakespeare] Sir David Hare has been described by the Washington Post as “the premiere political dramatist writing in English.” He has written over 30 stage plays and 30 screenplays for film and television. The plays include Plenty, Pravda (with Howard Brenton), The Secret Rapture, Racing Demon, Skylight, Amy’s View, The Blue Room, Via Dolorosa, Stuff Happens, The Absence of War, The Judas Kiss, The Red Barn and The Moderate Soprano. For cinema, he has written The Hours, The Reader, Damage, Denial, Wetherby, and The White Crow among others, while his television films include Licking Hitler, The Worricker Trilogy, Collateral, and Roadkill. In a millennial poll of the greatest plays of the 20th century, five of the top 100 were Hare's.
