A Critical Analysis of Neoliberalism in David Hare’s Stuff Happens and The Permanent Way

Öz

This paper concentrates on two plays written during the core period of the neoliberal era, specifically the 2000s. The works under examination are The Permanent Way and Stuff Happens. Acknowledging that literary productions are intertwined with broader and more complex social structures, this study endeavours to identify the dialectical relationships between Hare’s plays, the societies they reflect, and the dominant neoliberal policies prevalent since the 1970s. The research aims to contextualize David Hare’s selected plays and argue that they possess a dialectical relationship with the societies of their creation. Employing the dialectical method, the analysis examines the interactive arrangements between the plays and their socio-political context, emphasizing Hare’s unique language and thematic choices that construct his literary argument. Given the prevalence of neoliberal ideology, this research centers on plays written after the new millennium. The selection is based on their strong reflections of neoliberal policies and their perceived contribution to the decline of neoliberalism. Hence, this study aims to investigate the representation of economic and social inequalities within Hare’s plays, coinciding with the dissolution of social integrity and corruption of institutions, signifying the decline of neoliberalism
