'Plenty' by David Hare was being produced at Sheffield's Crucible theatre. I have followed the career of David Hare for many years. It was a remarkable production of a play I had never seen and because it was so good I saw it again on the following Wednesday. Hare is famed for his controversial creation of female characters so on my first visit I took two women, the second time I took a different one in order, on both occasions, to discuss with them the play. Hatty Morahan played Susan Traherne , if she had been Queen Elizabeth 1 I would have followed her to the end. It made me understand for the first time the value of that Queen. Irrational, beautiful, blazing with life. Between visits I read thoroughly the text in case I had missed something
Format:Paperback
I love the film Plenty so I bought the play. It's amazing how simple it is. I think Hare expanded the text for the screenplay. Some of the dialogue is quite contrived, but that just goes to show how the theatre works. The Englishness of the play sometimes seem quite laboured, but again, I never thought that when I watched the film. A good read for anyone wanting to learn stagecraft.

Plenty presents us with one of the most powerful female protagonists in modern drama, in Susan Traherne Hare provides a vehicle to convey the disillusionment of life after world war 2 in Britain, the hypocrascy of class culture and the story of one womans descent whilst the establishment attempt to hold ground in a society which is altered though not as changed as was hoped
