Edward Bond has been, since his controversial arrival on the
theatrical scene in 1965, one of Britain's most distinctive and
important theatre writers. This study examines his work, from The
Pope's Wedding (1962) to Coffee (1995). It gives an overview of the
development of his distinctive dramatic language and style, and
looks at his experiments with various theatrical forms and genres.
It examines, too, the ways in which Bond's insistence upon the
necessity of the drama as an agent of social evolution have
determined his development as a dramatist. There are sections which
situate Bond's work within its wider theatrical and political
contexts, and which explore his concerns with issues such as
violence, technology and social evolution, as they are expressed in
plays such as Saved (1965), and Lear (1971). The study also deals
with Bond's continual dialogue with our cultural history - with the
ways in which he rewrites classic plays and plunders familiar
theatrical genres in order to demythologize the past.
