Amy's View

Synopsis

1979. Esme Allen is a well-known West End actress at just the moment when the West End is ceasing to offer actors a regular way of life.

The visit of her young daughter, Amy, with a new boyfriend sets in train a series of events which only find their shape sixteen years later.

David Hare's new play, which mixes love, death, and the theatre in a heady and original way, was sold out at the National Theatre, and transferred to the West End in January 1998.

This is the definitive version of Amy's View.
