Informationen zum Autor Edward Bond Klappentext 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) The volume contains plays from the '70s and '80s, which offer a wide ranging critique of society and human relationships. Included are "The Bundle", "Human Condition", "Jackets" and "In the Company of Men". The volume also includes Bond's notes on postmodernism.
