Olly's Prison cover

By the author of "Saved", "Lear", "The Woman", "Bingo", "Jackets" and "In the Company of Men", this play portrays the violence inherent in the prison system and in police practice as a savage mirror image of the violence of a domestic killer.

This volume includes the TV version and the stage adaptation "When you marry, have kids...you'll still be in that chair." An ordinary city flat. Evening. A man tries to talk to his daughter. She will not answer. The play moves through the prison of the mind, to that of the outside world in a search that leads to a tragedy.Edward Bond is "a great playwright - many, particularly in continental Europe, would say the greatest living English playwright" (Independent)
