We're also meeting because Hare has a new play, which received its world premiere in Chichester last night. South Downs was commissioned by the Terence Rattigan Trust to serve as a curtain-raiser to a new production of The Browning Version marking the centenary of the playwright's birth. Hare's play is set in 1962, at a public school similar to the one he attended, Lancing College in Sussex. It's about a lonely adolescent called Blakemore and meditates on education, faith and teen friendship in the distant days before the Chatterley ban and the Beatles' first LP.
