Critically acclaimed film director, playwright and screenwriter Sir David Hare will be visiting Abergavenny on Tuesday November 2 as ‘Conversations at the Chapel’ continues. ‘Conversations at the Chapel’ is a monthly event at the Chapel on Market Street in Abergavenny, that sees local film-maker Alastair Laurence curate a series of talks with prominent guests from different artistic disciplines. The popular event has resumed in Abergavenny this autumn following the Covid lockdowns with talks with photographer David Hurn and former Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams. This month’s guest David Hare is one of our most important post-war writers for the stage and screen. David’s plays include Plenty, Pavoda (with Howard Brenton), The Secret Rapture, The Absence of War, and The Judas Kiss. His screenplays include Damage, Denial and most recently Collateral, Roadkill and the Nureyev biopic The White Crow. An acclaimed award-winner, Sir David has been nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay for writing the Hours in 2002 and The Reader in 2008, and has also received three Golden Globe Award nominations, three Tony Award nominations and has won a Bafta Award and two Laurence Olivier Awards. In 1998 David was knighted for his services to the arts. The event will start at 7pm at the Chapel on Tuesday November 2, tickets cost £10 and are available at the Art House and Chapel with booking essential.
