In the context of this play, Daldry has characterized Hare's attitude to the Israel-Palestine conflict as follows:

"What David Hare is unneutral about - what he’s deeply against - is extremism. Here it’s the extremism he found, and brilliantly acts out, between warring political-philosophical-religious diehards within each populace, Israeli and Palestinian alike -- 'people who seek religious justification for excessive behavior on either side.'"

Hare received the 1999 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance for his performance of "Via Dolorosa".

In May 1999, Steven Greenstein filed a US civil complaint against the Royal Court Theatre that alleged that "Via Dolorosa" had unlawfully taken ideas for the text and structure from an unproduced play by Greenstein, "Voices From the Holy...and Not So Holy Land". The lawsuit did not name Hare specifically. [cite news | author=Robert D.
