The English literature in the secon half of the XX century

Edward Bondis less concerned the individual search for identity and more with the results of right and wrong that they have made for themselves. His plays are on a heroic scale, with the theme that the world is badly organized and must be changed. In his plays man’s self-destructiveness is often made clear in his violent actions.
“Narrow Road to Deep North” set in an ancient Japap, shows how a baby left to die becomes a cruel ruler , and asks whether the poet who saw the child and did nothing is responsible for all the pain and suffering that the ruler caused. The play also considers the effect of colonialism, both on those who rule and those who are ruled.
“Lear” is Bond’s account of Shakespeare’s tragedy “King Lear” in which Lear’s good daughter, Cordelia, is made evil and dishonest by achieving the power she set out to destroy. “Bingo” shows Shakespeare himself as an ill and dying man, returned to his home in the country after his success in London. there is a powerful comparison between Shakespeare the great artist and Shakespeare the man, who is a failure as a husband and a father and agrees to actions by the authorities that will harm ordinary peoples.
“The Fool” is also about the life of an English poet; it is based on the story of John Clare, a poet in the eighteenth century who was kept in prison as a madman for many years. The play explores the mysterious relationship between pain of the mind and heart, and true poetic vision. This is a theme also explored in “The Woman”, in which the main character gains new knowledge and understanding through great pain and suffering. Bond’s world is often a cruel and bitter one, although there are touches of humour; but many things that have happened in the XXth century are cruel and bitter, and Bond’s work like that of the other dramatists can be said to reflect the world in which we all live6.
