David Hare's latest play, entitled The Power of Yes: A dramatist seeks to understand the financial crisis, is currently playing London's National Theatre.



According to press materials, "On 15 September 2008, capitalism came to a grinding halt. As sub-prime mortgages and toxic securities continued to dominate the headlines, the National Theatre asked Hare to write an urgent and immediate work to be staged this autumn that sought to find out what had happened, and why."

Angus Jackson directs a cast that features Julien Ball, Ian Bartholomew, Anthony Calf, Richard Cordery, Jonathan Coy, Mark Elstob, Paul Freeman, Ian Gelder, John Hollingworth, Bruce Myers, Claire Price, Jeff Rawle, Christian Roe, Jemima Rooper, Malcolm Sinclair, Peter Sullivan, Nicolas Tennant, Alan Vicary, Simon Williams and Lizzie Winkler.

The production runs through Jan. 10, 2010.
