The Breath of Life
by David Hare
Sheffield Theatres
Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield, 17 February 2011
When celebrated novelist Frances Beale arrives at Madeleine Palmer’s home, she is looking for a story, but not a work of fiction. She wants to hear the true story of how their lives became inextricably linked over forty years ago… Over the course of a single night, the two women reflect on their lives, united by their love for the same man. A witty, brutal and poignant play from Sir David Hare.
One of three plays in The David Hare Season, a major retrospective of one of the most influential and prolific playwrights of post-war Britain.
