“Stuff Happens”: To go to war or not to go to war? That was the question. Written during the aftermath of official combat in Iraq and the buildup to the 2004 presidential campaign, David Hare’s work premiered last September on Britain’s most prominent stage to standing-room-only crowds, international attention and enthusiastic reviews from London’s critics. “Stuff Happens” might
make you openly boo, hiss, cheer or even cry but it will also remind you of why this 2,500-year-old art
form remains the best way for human beings to collectively experience and contemplate the effects of war.
