Embedded Files
by David Hare
On the same day that the UK government finally made the first of two decisive interventions that led to a conspicuously late lockdown, David Hare (the playwright) contracted Covid-19. Nobody seemed to know much about it then, and many doctors are not altogether sure they know much more today. Suffering a pageant of apparently random symptoms, Hare recalls the delirium of his illness, which mixed with fear, dream, honest medicine and dishonest politics create a monologue of furious urgency and power.
Performed by Tom Zahner | Directed by Ilya Parenteau
'BEAT THE DEVIL' was produced by the English Theatre Düsseldorf and presented in January 2022 at the Theatermuseum
