David Hare Crafts Quotations

Obviously VIA DOLOROSA is completely artificial. It is as highly wrought as any of my plays. But basically all the artifice is to disguise itself so you don't feel it's there. You're attempting to make the artifice like a pane of glass that simply leads you through to the subject - not to decorate the bloody glass.

The actual business of writing dialogue is not thought of as a craft.

The most important playwright's gift is to hit your time and speak to your time.
