Via Dolorosa
Via Dolorosa
An account by David Hare
-In 1997, the playwright David Hare was invited to go to Israel – “because in Israel they're fighting for something they believe in”. Inspired by his travels, David Hare wrote this extraordinarily prescient play, foreshadowing arguments which are just as important today.
Through the medium of theatre, David Hare gives a dramatic account of his travels though Israel and Palestine, from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to Gaza and Ramallah.
Hare's account is performed skillfully by Gary Hay from Chasing Rainbows
This riveting, thoughtful monologue delivered with fluent ease by Gary Hay constantly throws up important, interesting participants in this historic tragedy. Twenty-six years on, it still seems incredibly important and watchable. Everyone should see it
The playwright was given unique access to a range of public and private figures, each with a different perspective on the region and its troubles.
The resultant drama draws together these very different voices, exposing the passions and opinions that run deep throughout the region. At the end, like its author, the audience is left wiser but exhausted by the experience.
Originally performed by David Hare himself, this production is brought to you by Chasing Rainbows. The company is well known to Edinburgh: in the Covid years, they brought the critically acclaimed new show Looks Like We Made It to the Fringe; and in 2022, they produced another hit performing Yasmina Reza’s Art.
