Nothing is more important to a modern political party than fund-raising. But the values of the donors can’t always coincide with the professed beliefs of the party. This ensemble play about British public life looks at the way business, media and politics are now intertwined to nobody’s advantage, as, in an unforgiving world, one character after another passes through “Gethsemane”. This was David Hare’s fourteenth original play for the National Theatre, London, and premiered in November 2008.
