Plays 4: The Worlds / The Activists Papers / Restoration / Summer

Plays #4

by Edward Bond

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.





"Restoration towers like a colossus ...its stylistic wit, moral complexity and theatrical force are of the kind one associates with classic drama" (Michael Billington). In settings both historical and modern, Edward Bond's plays continue to offer a wide-ranging political and moral critique of human society and human relationships. The fourth volume of his collected works contains his plays from the late seventies and early eighties.



Edward Bond is "a great playwright - many, particularly in continental Europe, would say the greatest living English playwright" (Independent)

I only had to read Summer for uni but this was the only edition available on Goodread. It was a very enjoyable and unsettling read so I'll probably read the three other plays at some point in the future.
