Berlin

For his whole adult life, David Hare has been visiting the city which so many young people regard as the most exciting in Europe. But there's something in Berlin's elusive character which makes him feel he's always missing the point.

Now, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the wall, Hare reads a 55-minute meditation about Germany's restored capital - both what it represents in European history, and the peculiar part it has played in his own life. The reading is directed by Stephen Daldry.
