Description

Saved by Edward Bond First published in 1979, Saved is a powerful play that explores the cultural poverty and frustration of a generation of young people living on council estates in London's sixties. Its unflinching portrayal of violence and social unrest sparked controversy at its private staging in 1965. The play's notorious reputation was cemented by scenes of graphic violence, including the stoning of a baby, which led to it being banned from public performance for many years. Despite this, Saved has had a lasting impact on playwrights and continues to be studied and performed today. Edward Bond is widely regarded as one of the greatest living English playwrights, known for his unflinching portrayal of social issues in his work.
