The Absence Of War By David hare

It’s now or never for George Jones. The heavy-smoking, Shakespeare-loving Labour leader needs to get out of opposition and into Number Ten. Plagued by a hostile media, beset by divisions in his party and haunted by his own demons, George has three weeks to convince the Great British Public that he’s their man.

But how much compromise is he prepared to make? How can you truly appeal to the man in the street from the Palace of Westminster?

And which tie should he wear for Prime Minister’s Questions?

Much of the genesis of The Absence of War stems from writer David Hare’s immersion in Labour’s campaign, under the leadership of Neil Kinnock, for the General Election of April 1992.
