A map of the world
Hare, D. and Tampalini, S. (1984) A map of the world. [Play] [Creative Output]
Synopsis
David Hare's A Map of the World brings together, an African politician, an Indian novelist, an English journalist, an American actress and a UN conference on world poverty in a dramatic clash of cultures, politics and mores. Using a theatrical device of shifting perspectives it not only challenges the assumptions of what the audience are witnessing, but exposes the way the conference is appropriated by some of the delegates and manipulated by the media.
