THIS WEEK IN THEATRE NEWS:
from The Stage
David Hare: Theatre Too Middle Aged and Too Middle of the Road
by Matthew Hemley
From the article:
Double Olivier Award-winning playwright David Hare has accused artistic directors of prioritising box office takings over cutting-edge work, claiming they are confusing “what is popular with what is good”.
The acclaimed writer, whose hits include Skylight, Amy’s View and the recent adaptation of The Master Builder at the Old Vic, was speaking as part of the Festival at Hampstead Theatre. He said that his time as literary manager for the Royal Court in London at the age of 21 taught him that “anything good was going to be massively unpopular”.
He highlighted how Saved by Edward Bond, now “thought to be the great classic of the period”, played to 25% capacity, but said that theatres should be producing edgier content.
