Edward Bond's Plays for Young People
Paperback
Publication Date: 01/03/2005
This is the first book in English fully to explain Edward Bond's new form of theatre. Our future depends on the state of our imaginations, and drama becomes more important as the world changes. Plays young people write, act in and watch are the blueprints of the world they will have to live in. Edward Bond argues that drama helps children 'to know themselves and their world and their relation to it' but that neither Brecht nor Stanislavsky can provide a basis for modern theatre. Edward Bond and the Dramatic Child discusses all Bond's important plays for young people and offers case studies of various productions of them. Contributors explore the demands and rewards of a cting and staging Bond. The book will be of interest to everyone working in drama with young people in theatre, schools or community work, and to actors and directors in mainstream theatre. The contributors are Edward Bond, David Allen, Chris Cooper, Tony Coult, John Doona, Kate Katafiasz, Bill Roper and David Davis. The glossary explains Bond's theatre terminology.
