Overview
This volume comprises five new plays and a comprehensive introduction by
the author exploring theories of writing and theatre. Innocence is the
final play in The Paris Pentad, a dramatic epic stretching from the
1940s to the end of the twenty-first century. The conflicts at
the heart of civilisation have erupted into violence, and the characters
in Innocence must seek refuge in each other to escape the cruelty of
war. Window, Tune, Balancing Act and The Edge are plays commissioned
by The Big Brum Theatre. With themes of drug use, violence, suicide, and
mother-son relations, the plays focus on problems directly aimed at
modern youth culture. Ideally suited to students, performers and
particularly university showcases, they are short, interesting and
powerful pieces. This edition also includes some of Bond's previously
unpublished Theatre Poems.
