Synopsis:
A young man alone in a room. A stranger enters. Together they journey into a dark forest - When the men return to the daylight world, they are involved in a trivial incident. It is hardly more than a gesture - yet it is something that once happened and in its triviality captures the history of our century and confronts us with the deepest questions about ourselves.

Synopsis:
Restoration is set in eighteenth-century England: a world of cruelty, injustice and iron privilege. Lord Are is forced by poverty into an unwanted marriage with the daughter of a wealthy mine owner. One morning, during breakfast, he commits a bizarre and fatal crime. He seeks to pin responsibility for it on his guileless, illiterate footman, Bob Hedges. A battle ensues between Bob's black, justice-hungry wife and the fortified privilege of the ruling classes.

Synopsis:
Provocative, compelling, disturbing and darkly comic, Edward Bond's plays for young people are a body of work which stand alongside his classics Saved, Lear and The Sea. The latest, his seventh for the internationally renowned Birmingham company Big Brum, asks what it is to be human. A play for our times, it promises not only to question society, but our own values and comfortable assumptions; a unique opportunity to engage theatre audiences, both young and old, with a new play by 'the greatest of post-war British playwrights'. (Lyn Gardner, The Guardian).
