Description
The Permanent Way: A Play by David Hare A gripping documentary drama that exposes the consequences of a pivotal decision made by Britain's Conservative Party government. In 1994, they chose to privatize the country's railway system in an attempt to win an election they didn't expect to win. Twelve years later, the results are stark: unpredictable schedules, soaring costs, and tragic accidents that have claimed lives. This powerful play gathers together first-hand accounts from those who worked on the railways, revealing a complex web of problems that have had far-reaching consequences for passengers and the industry as a whole. A fascinating and thought-provoking work that poses important questions about the role of government and the impact of policy decisions on everyday people. A "dazzling oral mosaic" that sheds light on a critical moment in British history, this play is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in politics, social justice, or the human impact of decision-making.
