{"product_id":"9780571336135","title":"Plenty by David Hare","description":"After opening to sometimes bewildered reviews at the National Theatre in 1978, David Hare's wildly ambitious play Plenty established itself as a landmark modern classic in its 1982 New York production, which transferred to Broadway with Kate Nelligan playing Susan Traherne.   Counterpointing the experiences of a fiercely intelligent Englishwoman flown into France as a secret agent during the Second World War with her life in the following twenty years, David Hare offers a unique view of post-war history, as well as making a powerful statement about changing values and the collapse of ideals embodied in a single life.   'The richest, certainly the most resonant experience of my theatrical year.' Clive Barnes, Sunday Times'An explosive theatrical version of a world that was won and lost during and after World War II.' Frank Rich, New York TimesPlenty was made into a film from a screenplay by David Hare with Meryl Streep, Charles Dance and John Gielgud. Plenty returned to The Public, New York, in October 2016 with Susan Traherne played by Rachel Weisz.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56292700717429,"sku":"9780571336135","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780571336135.jpg?v=1762750981","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780571336135","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
