Writing Left-Handed

The leading British writer-director of his generation, David Hare is also one of the most productive. The last two years have seen the outstanding success of two stage plays,

The Secret Rapture and

Racing Demon, and the release of two films,

Paris by Night and

Strapless.

The pieces collected here, written left-handed, form both a concealed professional autobiography and a lucid commentary on his work.
