South Downs (play)

South Downs is a 2011 play by the British playwright and author David Hare. It is set in 1962 in a public school, similar to Hare's own school, Lancing, in the South Downs.^[1] It is a response to Terence Rattigan's The Browning Version and was commissioned by Rattigan's estate to mark Rattigan's Centenary.

It premiered alongside a revival of Rattigan's The Browning Version from 2 September to 8 October 2011 at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester (the small auditorium of the Chichester Festival Theatre).

The two plays were directed separately by Jeremy Herrin (South Downs) and Angus Jackson (The Browning Version). Cast of the two plays, South Downs/The Browning Version, includes Jonathan Bailey, Anna Chancellor, Jack Elliott, Nicholas Farrell, Bradley Hall, Robert Heaps, Amanda Fairbank Hynes, Alex Lawther, Liam Morton, Mark Umbers, and Andrew Woodall.^[2]
