Synopsis:

Berlin

For his whole adult life, David Hare has beenvisiting the city which so many young people
regard as the most exciting in Europe. But there’s something in Berlin’s elusive character
which makes him feel he’s always missing the point.
Now, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the wall, Hare reads a 55-minute
meditation about Germany’s restored capital – both what it represents in European history,
and the peculiar part it has played in his own life, at several performances in March at the National's Lyttelton Theatre.
