Summary

This is the final play in a series of three, following Racing Demon and Murmuring Judges. As with the other plays, Hare has created a fiction based on fact, and for his research into the workings of the Labour Party he was granted access to top-level Labour Party meetings.

Absence of War Summary

Absence of War by David Hare

The Absence of War offers a meditation on the classic problems of leadership, and is the third part of a critically acclaimed trilogy of plays (Racing Demon, Murmuring Judges) about British institutions. Its unsparing portrait of a Labour Party torn between past principles and future prosperity, and of a deeply sympathetic leader doomed to failure, made the play hugely controversial and prophetic when it was first presented at the National Theatre, London, in 1993.
