Edward Bond
Thomas Edward Bond (18 July 1934 – 3 March 2024) was an English playwright, theatre director, poet,
dramatic theorist and screenwriter. He was the author of some 50 plays, among them ''
Saved'' (1965), the production of which was instrumental in the abolition of
theatre censorship in the UK. His other well-received works include ''
Narrow Road to the Deep North'' (1968),
''Lear'' (1971),
''The Sea'' (1973),
''The Fool'' (1975),
''Restoration'' (1981), and the
''War'' trilogy (1985). Bond was broadly considered among the major living dramatists but he has always been and remains highly controversial because of the violence shown in his plays, the radicalism of his statements about modern theatre and society, and his theories on drama.
