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. The Absence of War is much more than a piece of
skilled reporting. It is actually cast as a classic tragedy.'
