Bond Plays 5

Description

One of Britain’s greatest living contemporary dramatists, Edward Bond is widely studied by schools and colleges. The collection includes a commentary by the author.
The Bundle – A complex and marvellously written play (The Times); Jackets – An astonishingly powerful piece of political, polemic poetry (Guardian); Human Cannon charts the struggle against Fascism in Spain through the stories of the village community of Estarobon; In the Company of Men, a vivid and coruscating attack on the values encapsulated by boardroom power games, was described by the RSC as a vast meditation on the twenty-first century.
Edward Bond is one of the two or three major playwrights – and arguably the only one – to emerge since the fifties (Observer)
