Depicting man and his decline into greed and despair, this is short piece, chronicling scenes from the life of a charred, blackened monster who was never born - his life destroyed before it was ever lived. Exploring issues of corruption and violence, this is a complicated, moral tale, Bond's frightening vision leaving the audience "imagining the unimaginable", where cries for help go unheard and conflict eventually brutalises everything. Red, Black & Ignorant, is the first of Edward Bond's War Plays and this production is yet again the first revival since original production in 1984.| 31 Oct 10 to 13 Nov 10 | Cock Tavern Theatre Outer London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
