Edward Bond’s Dea – World Premiere

“To be sane or not to be sane, that is the question – and if not, then be mad and all that follows.”

In his new play Edward Bond takes from the Greek and Jacobean drama the fundamental classical problems of the family and war, to vividly picture our collapsing society.

The war is raging, Dea, a heroine, has committed a terrible act and has been exiled. When she meets someone from her past she is forcefully confronted by the broken society that drove her to commit her crimes

Edward Bond is internationally regarded as the UK’s greatest and most influential playwright. He is the author of some sixty plays, among them Saved (1965), the production of which was instrumental in the abolition of theatre censorship in the UK.
