Saved (Student Editions) - Softcover
Described by Edward Bond as 'almost irresponsibly optimistic', Saved is a play set in London in the sixties and reflects a time of social change. Its subject is the cultural poverty and frustration of a generation of young people on the dole and living on council estates. The play was first staged privately in November 1965 at the Royal Court Theatre for members of the English Stage Society at a time when plays were still censored. With its scenes of violence, including the stoning of a baby in its pram, Saved became a notorious play and a cause célèbre. It has since had a profound influence on a whole new generation of writers who emerged in the 1990s.
Commentary and notes by David Davis.

About the Author:
Edward Bond is one of the great British playwrights of the twentieth/twenty-first centuries whose work first came to prominence in the 1960s. In recent years there have been revivals of several of his major plays, including Lear, Restoration and The Sea. Methuen Drama publishes eight volumes of his work.
Review:
“Bond's grimly powerful indignation is a reminder that a society that maintains an underclass tolerates a measure of barbarity.” ―The New York Times
