About:
David Hare's intensely clear-sighted and compassionate play, about reconnected lovers who consider resurrecting their relationship, won The Guardian's coveted Best New Play Award.
"There are times in the theatre when you suddenly find yourself in the grip of silence, There is no fidgeting or coughing, no shifting about in seats: the audience's attention is so tense it is almost palpable. This is because it is both thrilling and dangerous: a fight to the death, or the dawning of salvation. David Hare's play Skylight, is punctuated by such moments. They are the signs that a dramatist of the first rank is writhing at full stretch, in complete command of his material, undogmatic and unafraid, unforgiving and compassionate." - Sunday Times
