'The internationally acclaimed dramatist Edward Bond endures as one of the towering figures of contemporary British theatre. His plays are read at schools and university level. Edward Bond is the most radical playwright to have emerged from the sixties. Lear ''Bond''s greatest (and biggest) play . It is even more topical now and will become more so as man''s inhumanity gains subtle sophistication with the twenty-first century''s approach'' (The Times); The Sea ''It blends wild farce with tragedy and ends with a sliver of hope . what makes the play fascinating is Bond''s bleak poetry and social comedy'' (Guardian); Narrow Road to the Deep North ''His best piece so far . No one else could have written it'' (The Times); Black Mass, written for performance at an anti-apartheid demonstration- A Georg Grosz picture come to life . ''the only possible kind of artistic imagery through which to speak of such evil'' (Listener); Passion - a play for CND- ''Mingles comedy and high anger with absolute sureness''. (Guardian). ''Edward Bond is one of our outstanding playwrights . He is already an acknowledged classic'' (Plays and Players)'
