Hare

Ralph
Fiennes (Antony
& Cleopatra)
leads the cast in David Hare’s (Skylight) blazing account of the
most powerful man in New York, a master manipulator whose legacy changed the
city forever.
For forty
uninterrupted years, Robert Moses
exploited those in office through a mix of charm and intimidation. Motivated at
first by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s workers, he
created parks, bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the
great outdoors.
Faced with
resistance by protest groups campaigning for a very different idea of what the
city should become, will the weakness of democracy be exposed in the face of
his charismatic conviction?
Broadcast
live from the Bridge Theatre in London, Nicholas Hytner directs this exhilarating
new play. (approx. 180min.)
