For forty uninterrupted years, Robert Moses was the most powerful man in
New York. Though never elected to office, he manipulated those who were
through a mix of guile, charm and intimidation. Motivated at first by a
determination to improve the lives of New York City's workers, he
created parks, bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people
to the great outdoors. But in the 1950s, groups of citizens began to
organize against his schemes and against the motor car, campaigning for
a very different idea of what a city should be. David Hare's blazing
account of a man - played by Ralph Fiennes - whose iron will exposed the
weakness of democracy in the face of charismatic conviction, premieres
at the Bridge Theatre, London, in March 2022.
