Described by Edward Bond as 'almost irresponsibly optimistic',
"Saved "is a play set in London in the sixties and reflects a time
of social change. Its subject is the cultural poverty and
frustration of a generation of young people on the dole and living
on council estates. The play was first staged privately in November
1965 at the Royal Court Theatre for members of the English Stage
Society at a time when plays were still censored. With its scenes
of violence, including the stoning of a baby in its stroller, "
Saved "became a notorious play and a cause celebre. It has since
had a profound influence on a whole new generation of writers who
emerged in the 1990s.
