Via Dolorosa

Via Dolorosa had its origins in 1997, when the then 50 year-old [David Hare] paid a three-week visit to Israel, celebrating its own 50th Birthday at the time. Deeply touched by the experience, he began the memoir that became Via Dolorosa. In the course of playing some 33 people on stage – from a family of Jewish settlers in the West Bank to a Palestinian politician in Gaza – Hare meditates on the region’s age-old conflicts and questions his own values as searchingly as the powerful beliefs, passions, prejudices and suspicions of those he met.Venue 53.
