Synopsis

There are times in the theatre when you suddenly find yourself in the grip of silence.

There is no fidgeting or coughing, no shifting about in seats: the audience's attention is so tense it is almost palpable.

This is because it is both thrilling and dangerous: a fight to the death, or the dawning of salvation.

David Hare's new play, Skylight, is punctuated by such moments.

They are the signs that a dramatist of the first rank is writing at full stretch, in complete command of his material, undogmatic and unafraid, unforgiving and compassionate.' Sunday Times Skylight was revived in a new production at the Wyndham's Theatre, London, in June 2014, which received the Evening Standard Revival of the Year Award.
