1962: A public school on the South Downs. John Blakemore is a
solitary boy who finds it impossible either to understand or adapt
to the ways of the school. His adolescent earnestness put off
teacher and pupil alike. And now suddenly he seems to be in danger
of losing his only friend. David Hare's emotional new play, written
at the invitation of the Rattigan estate as a response to The
Browning Version, is a meditation on faith, learning and teenage
friendship, played against the backdrop of a Britain still fighting
to maintain an established rule. Collected with South Downs is the
text of Hare's lecture Mere Fact, Mere Fiction, delivered to the
Royal Society of Literature in 2010. In a famous defence of
documentary theatre, the author celebrates the power of metaphor to
transform factual quite as much as fictional material.
