Hare’s exploration of economic crisis to premiere at NT this autumn

Published Wednesday 17 June 2009 at 15:25 by Lalayn Baluch

David Hare’s new play The Power of Yes: A Dramatist Seeks to Understand the Financial Crisis is set to open at the National Theatre’s Lyttelton space this autumn.

The piece is based on Hare’s meetings with “key players” from the financial world, and aims to understand the truth behind the global economic meltdown.

The show, to be directed by Angus Jackson and designed by Bob Crowley, will open on October 6, with previews from September 29.

The NT’s summer-autumn line-up will also include 6pm performances of Vladimir Nabakov’s Lolita directed by Richard Nelson, which will be joining Caryl Churchill’s Three More Sleepless Nights.

Meanwhile, a new play called Our Class by Polish writer Tadeusz Slobodzianek will receive its premiere in the Cottesloe in September.

As previously announced, the season will feature Fiona Shaw in Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children, directed by Deborah Warner, and Mark Ravenhill’s adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s Nation.

The venue’s new NT Live initiative will see Marianne Elliot’s production of Shakespeare’s All’s Well That Ends Well broadcast live to cinema screens across the world on October 1.
