Summary/Abstract: David Hare is one of the most fulgent figures of the global theatre who peculiarly places national and international political issues and their effects on the individual and society in his non-fiction drama. The political struggle between Palestinians and Israelis has been brought into debate through the imagination of several leading dramatists so far. Hare presents the purest ideas about this issue throughout his work, Via Dolorosa. However, his main concern is the corruption of faith and the meaninglessness of life, chiefly in the western world. In this respect, the playwright deals with the notion of faith in a universal point of view in this monologue play.
