Chair: Bob Carr

Sir David Hare, one of the greatest British playwrights of our time, explores his anxiety that our world has sped up and that history in this century is a dizzying, unpredictable and unsettling succession of events. Hare has always imbued the political with the personal, exposed the aphrodisiac of power and the creative energy of anger. His latest book, We Travelled: Essays and Poems, continues his life’s work of arguing against economic rationalism and the bankers, politicians, plutocrats and churchmen who profit from it.
