Hare's 2011 play ''[[South Downs (play)|South Downs]]'', based on his based on his own experiences of being schooled at Lancing College, was well received at the [[Chichester Festival]],<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/theatre-dance/features/the-unhappiest-time-of-his-life-david-hare-on-dramatising-his-school-days-7660994.html|title=The unhappiest time of his life: David Hare on dramatising his school days|first=Michael|last=Coveney|author-link=Michael Coveney|newspaper=[[The Independent]]|date=20 April 2012}}</ref> and was adapted as a ''[[Saturday Drama]]'' on [[BBC Radio 4]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01m9dyp|title=Saturday Drama {{!}} South Downs|website=BBC Radio 4|date=2012|access-date=18 January 2024}}</ref>

In December 2011, it was announced that his monologue ''[[Wall (play)|Wall]]'' about the [[Israeli West Bank barrier]] was being adapted by [[Cam Christiansen]] as a live-action/animated documentary by the [[National Film Board of Canada]];<ref name=Vlessing>{{cite news|last=Vlessing|first=Etan|title=National Film Board of Canada to Animate Israel's West Bank Barrier For Theatrical Doc|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/national-film-board-canada-animate-273705|access-date=14 December 2011|newspaper=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=14 December 2011}}</ref> originally slated for completed in 2014, ''[[Wall (2017 film)|Wall]]'' premiered at the [[Calgary International Film Festival]] in 2017.<ref>{{cite news|first=Eric |last=Volmers|url=https://calgaryherald.com/entertainment/movies/cam-christiansen-david-hare-and-the-nfb-break-down-barriers-with-animated-essay-wall |title=Cam Christiansen, David Hare and the NFB break down barriers with animated 'essay' Wall|newspaper=[[Calgary Herald]]|date=September 15, 2017}}</ref> In November 2012, [[The New School for Drama]] selected Hare as temporary [[Artist-in-residence]], during which he interacted with student playwrights about his experience in varying mediums.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.newschool.edu/pressroom/pressreleases/2012/DavidHare.htm|title=The New School for Drama Names Sir David Hare Artist-In-Residence |publisher=The New School  |access-date=28 November 2023}}</ref> His career is examined in the Reputations strand on ''TheatreVoice''.<ref>Assessments (2008) by [[Michael Billington (critic)|Michael Billington]], Richard Boon, Richard Eyre, Charles Spencer and Dominic Cavendish; [http://www.theatrevoice.com/a7-assets/uploads/audio/harecutONE.mp3]</ref> He is particularly well known for incisive commentary on the problems of public institutions. [[Raymond Williams]] once said, sardonically, that the public services are largely managed by the nation's "upper servants". Hare addresses this group, providing an analysis of the workings of the institutions: he is, he has said, interested in the struggle to make procedures work better – right now – not in waiting until some revolution, somehow, sometime, comes about to raze the current system altogether, to replace it with perfection.<ref>C.

In 2016, ''[[Daily Variety]]'' reported that the [[Jonathan Franzen]] novel ''[[Purity (novel)|Purity]]'' was in the process of being adapted into a 20-hour limited series by [[Todd Field]] who would share writing duties with Franzen and Hare. It would star [[Daniel Craig]] as Andreas Wolf and be executive produced by Field, Franzen, Craig, Hare & [[Scott Rudin]].<ref>{{cite news|first=Elizabeth|last=Wagmeister|url=https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/purity-showtime-daniel-craig-scott-rudin-1201753115|title=Showtime Lands Daniel Craig, Scott Rudin Limited Series 'Purity'|work=Daily Variety|year=2016|access-date=December 15, 2017|archive-date=December 1, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201100525/http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/purity-showtime-daniel-craig-scott-rudin-1201753115/|url-status=live}}</ref>

However, in a February 2018 interview with ''[[The Times]]'' London, Hare said that, given the budget for Field's adaptation (170 million), he doubted it would ever be made, but added "It was one of the richest and most interesting six weeks of my life, sitting in a room with Todd Field, Jonathan Franzen and Daniel Craig bashing out the story. They're extremely interesting people."<ref>{{cite news|first=Dominic|last=Maxwell|url=https://www.thetimes.com/culture/tv-radio/article/david-hare-i-am-sick-to-death-of-hearing-about-the-need-for-strong-women-as-protagonists-83scsqlsv|title=David Hare: 'I am sick to death of hearing about the need for strong women as protagonists'|work=[[The Times]]|year=2018|access-date=February 13, 2018|archive-date=February 13, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180213195612/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/david-hare-i-am-sick-to-death-of-hearing-about-the-need-for-strong-women-as-protagonists-83scsqlsv|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2016, Hare wrote the screenplay for ''[[Denial (2016 film)|Denial]]'' based on [[Deborah Lipstadt]]'s ''History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier''. The film starred [[Tom Wilkinson]], [[Rachel Weisz]], and [[Timothy Spall]]. The film dramatises the ''[[Irving v Penguin Books Ltd]]'' case, in which Lipstadt, a [[The Holocaust|Holocaust]] scholar, was sued by [[Holocaust denier]] [[David Irving]] for [[libel]]. The film premiered at the [[Toronto International Film Festival]] to positive reviews. It later received the [[BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film]] nomination.{{citation needed|date=September 2022}}
