Review:
"A compelling, fast-moving, and astringently witty collage of . . . vivid, eloquently juxtaposed vignettes . . . ["The Permanent Way"] manages to make its devastating case without piety or smug hindsight." --Paul Taylor, "The Independent "(London) "David Hare's brilliant docudrama about the state of Britain's railways . . . provides a gripping account of what has gone wrong since privatization . . . ["The Permanent Way"] captures the greedy, shoddy spirit of our times with devastating clarity, but its portrait of individuals, particularly the survivors of rail crashes and those left bereaved by them, is . . . deeply moving." --Charles Spencer, "The Daily Telegraph "(London) "Fascinating and affecting . . . "The Permanent Way "is . . . animated journalism, and riveting as such." --Alastair Macaulay, "The Financial Times "(London)
