Indira Varma

Latest Hare Play to Premiere at Court

David Hare's latest play, The Vertical Hour, is to have its UK premiere at the Royal Court next year.

The play, which had its world premiere on Broadway last year (November 2006 to March 2007) directed by Sam Memdes and starring Julianne Moore and Bill Nighy, will be directed by Jeremy Herrin and star Indira Varma.

The play pits personal philosophies against global politics as it follows Nadia Blye, a former war reporter and Professor of International Relations at Yale, who has advised the President and seen action in Sarajevo and Baghdad. Nadia knows exactly what her stance is on Iraq and is sure of her place in the world. Until, that is, she meets an equally opinionated and lethally charming man – her boyfriend’s father – during a weekend in Shropshire. His intervention has far-reaching consequences for them all.

It is at the Royal Court Theatre Downstairs from 22nd January (previews from 17th) to 1st March 2008.
