Plays Six includes some of the most acclaimed work of Edward Bond,
one of Britain's greatest living contemporary dramatists, who is
widely studied by schools and colleges. The collection includes a
commentary by the author. The collection includes The War Plays and
Choruses from After the Assasinations. In The War Plays (Red Black
and Ignorant, The Tin Can People, Great Peace): "Bond
particularises daunting themes and subjects, but examines them
within the context of every day life. His platform is a trilogy of
plays that deal with the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust. The
first, - a quick, telling chronicle of a life destroyed before it
ever got lived - puts forth Bond's notions of contemporary cultural
corruption and conditioning. In play two the demoralised inheritors
of a ravaged earth try to rationalise an existence predicated on
death. The third play enlarges the issues by focussing on a
post-apocalyptic Mother Courage for whom schizoid suffering becomes
a survival technique." (Time Out). In Choruses From After The
Assassinations, Bond forecasts questions fifty years into the
future, in an age of escalating militarism.Edward Bond is "a great
playwright - many, particularly in continental Europe, would say
the greatest living English playwright" (Independent)
