4.0

This is another of Hare's interview plays which looks at the sell off of British Rail and the consequences of that sell off. Biting, pointed and poignant.

I found this play to read more like a textbook. Hare seems to be unaware of the emotional impact this story could hold instead insisting on facts alone.
