'You might not fully appreciate it when it happens, but the most memorable and gutsy moment of this theatrical season to date is when David Hare, a slim, trim, unassuming figure in his fifties...steps onto the stage of the Booth Theatre to begin his performance playing David Hare in his own Via Dolorosa. David Hare, the British playwright? Yes, and not only that, but a playwright making his debut as a professional actor." --The New York Times
"Hare resembles but surpasses Ed Murrow on radio drawing word pictures of the blitz in London. He is the ancient storyteller unfolding his tales under the shade of a tree, in the village square or a fire-lit town...One leaves Hare's performance with the conviction that one word can be worth a thousand pictures." --Wall Street Journal
"You go expecting to hear a talk. What you get is a deeply moving theatrical mosaic." --Guardian
