In 1997, renowned British playwright David Hare made a journey of discovery to Israel and Palestine. His goal was simply to observe and learn—to explore systems of faith and conviction. He also wanted to answer some fundamental questions: Do we only see what we want to see? Is it ever possible to connect across differences?
Recreated in New York in 2024 by actor and Playhouse Creatures Theatre Company producing artistic director Joseph Rodriguez and UK director Anthony Biggs and staged in a unique, immersive setting, Via Dolorosa is a walking meditation—a virtuosic solo piece exploring a dangerous landscape of conflict and violence.
Part of an ongoing collaboration between British and American theatre-makers (Playhouse Creatures Theatre Company, NYC, and Well Played, London), Via Dolorsa inaugurates PCTC’s 2024/25 season, dedicated to the notion of radical departures and the power of individual vision to change the world.
