Overview
These hitherto unavailable documents provide a valuable insight into the mind of one of Britain's most important living dramatists. These letters do not just confine themselves to Bond's plays but cover a wide range of important theatrical issues and offer a fresh perspective on how the texts operate on stage. In his letters Bond also defines many of the terms associated with his concept of theatre, such as TEs (Theatre Events) and Metatext.
