Amy’s View | February 2003

By David Hare. Directed by Jon Clark.

Love without conditions is Amy’s belief; a conviction with which Esme, her mother, a leading actress, committed to the memory of her dead artist husband, cannot come to terms.

However, over a period of sixteen years, through her experiences, it is a view Esme finally comes to understand.

The play is set in Esme’s house near Pangbourne and a London theatre dressing room.

Act I is set in 1979; Act II is set in 1985.
