Description
A witty and devastating new play that premiered at the National Theatre in August 2019. Hansard is set on a summer's morning in 1988, when Tory politician Robin Hesketh returns home to his idyllic Cotswold house. However, beneath the surface of their familiar marital sparring, secrets are being dug up and tensions escalate. As the day unfolds, what starts as gentle ribbing quickly turns to blood-sport. This is a play that explores the complexities of marriage, politics, and the human condition, with a sharp and biting dialogue that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With its premiere at the National Theatre, Hansard has already made a significant impact in the world of theatre. Now available in paperback, this is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in drama, politics, or the performing arts.
