Its subject is the cultural poverty and frustration of a generation of young people on the dole and living on council estates. The play was first staged privately in November 1965 at the Royal Court Theatre before members of the English Stage Society in a time when plays were still censored. With its scenes of violence, including the stoning of a baby, Saved became a notorious play and a cause célèbre. In a letter to the Observer, Sir Laurence Olivier wrote: 'Saved is not a play for children but it is for grown-ups, and the grown-ups of this country should have the courage to look at it.' Saved has had a marked influence on a whole new generation writing in the 1990s.\u003cbr\u003eEdward Bond is \"a great playwright - many, particularly in continental Europe, would say the greatest living English playwright\" (Independent)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Bond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780413313607","brand":"Methuen Drama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45175636590729,"sku":"9780413313607","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_1e2920cc-0a8e-4da5-bee5-c78ccc84354a.jpg?v=1768890728","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/saved-9780413313607","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
