At The Inland Sea

Synopsis

A play for young people

"A new play by one of Britain's greatest playwrights is an event...the severity and seriousness of his message is delivered with extraordinary directness" (Carole Woddis, Times Educational Supplement)

On a seemingly ordinary day the extraordinary happens.

As a student prepares for the first day of exams he meets someone from the past who confronts him with an impossible dilemma.

It's a life or death situation.

Can he use his imagination to stop the most horrific events from taking place?

This play was toured to British schools during 1995 by Big Brum, the Birmingham theatre company.

Notes and commentary on the production have been written by Tony Coult

Edward Bond "is one of the two or three major playwrights - and arguably the only one - to emerge since the fifties" (Observer)
