In The War Plays (Red Black and Ignorant, The Tin Can People, Great Peace): \"Bond particularises daunting themes and subjects, but examines them within the context of every day life. His platform is a trilogy of plays that deal with the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust. The first, - a quick, telling chronicle of a life destroyed before it ever got lived - puts forth Bond's notions of contemporary cultural corruption and conditioning. In play two the demoralised inheritors of a ravaged earth try to rationalise an existence predicated on death. The third play enlarges the issues by focussing on a post-apocalyptic Mother Courage for whom schizoid suffering becomes a survival technique.\" (Time Out). In Choruses From After The Assassinations, Bond forecasts questions fifty years into the future, in an age of escalating militarism.Edward Bond is \"a great playwright - many, particularly in continental Europe, would say the greatest living English playwright\" (Independent)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Bond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e A\u0026amp;c Black 3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 5.06w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780413704009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBond, Edward:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Edward Bond is widely regarded as the UK's greatest and most influential playwright.
