The Pope`s Wedding

111 Seiten,

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.
