The Pope's Wedding was given its first production at the Royal Court Theatre in 1962 and was Edward Bond's first play to be staged. It is about Scopey, a young East Anglian farm worker and his marriage to Pat, a village girl who has inherited an obligation to Look after Alen, an old hermit who lives in a corrugated iron hut outside the village. Gradually Scopey becomes obsessed with the old man and this involvement brings about his downfall. Scopey's strange history unfolds in a sharply authentic context of life amongst the village boys with its limited horizons. The Pope's Wedding is a strikingly original play that Looks forward to Bond's subsequent achievement in Saved. This volume also includes the sketch Black Mass and a number of recent prose and verse pieces.
