Description
David Hare's emotional new play explores faith, learning and teenage friendship against the backdrop of post-war Britain. Set in a public school on the South Downs, it tells the story of John Blakemore, a solitary boy struggling to find his place. The play is accompanied by the text of David Hare's lecture Mere Fact, Mere Fiction, delivered to the Royal Society of Literature in 2010. In this lecture, Hare celebrates the power of metaphor to transform factual material as much as fictional content. This collection offers a thought-provoking meditation on the role of art and imagination in shaping our understanding of the world.
