Via Dolorosa

Written by David Hare
Performed by Gary Hay

Wed 1 Jul

About Via Dolorosa

David Hare gives a dramatic account of his travels through Israel and Palestine in 1997, from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to Gaza and Ramallah. The playwright was given unique access to a range of public and private figures, each with a different perspective on the region and its troubles. 

The play's central theme is the deep-rooted political and religious passions that cause people to behave in a certain way. How can art capture those passions and reflect them in a meaningful way? Here is your answer. 

Passionate and topical, this is a must-see performance of David Hare's compelling drama, first performed in 1998, which lays bare the history, complexities and tensions of the region. 

Performed by Gary Hay. Recommended for ages 14+
