Stuff Happens is David Hare's gripping interpretation of the events leading to the unfinished war in Iraq.
For three hours George Bush and Tony Blair strut, whine and lie behind closed doors about a war the political establishment here and in America want to avoid discussing.
Nicholas Hynter, the director, controls the action as the elected, their sycophants and the often ineffectual leaders of the UN move through their conspiracies within a framework of pomp and piety. A huge cast swirls through formal meetings, intimate conversations, either sitting in grand conference rooms or eating mash potatoes and home made soup in Camp David.
