Stuff Happens

David Hare

Main CharactersGeorge W. Bush: The American President, portrayed as a man of gut instincts and religious conviction, driving the mission to depose Saddam Hussein at any cost. Tony Blair: The British Prime Minister, who attempts to act as a bridge between the US and the UN while grappling with his own moral and political dilemmas. Colin Powell: The US Secretary of State, who serves as the internal voice of caution and pragmatism within an administration increasingly dominated by neoconservative hawks.

First Performance: 2004, at Olivier Theatre (National Theatre), London

Critical triumph; praised for its even-handed but devastating portrayal of the architects of the Iraq War.
