Biography
Playwright, screenwriter, poet and librettist. Edward Bond was born in 1934, in London, England where he attended state schools. Formerly a factory and office worker he became a member of the writers group of the Royal Court Theater and was a resident theatre writer at the University of Essex, 1982-1983. Bond made his debut as an original playwright in 1965 with "Saved." Though his first plays received largely negative reviews when first produced because of misunderstandings about the presentation of violence, they won the respect of critics and audiences only in the 1970s and 1980s.
One of Edward Bond's one of best known plays, "The sea" had its U.S. premiere at the Goodman Theater in Chicago in 1975 and a couple of months later opened in New York at the Manhattan Theater Club. His honors and awards include the George Devine Award, English Stage Society, 1968, for "Early morning"; John Whiting Playwrights Award, Arts Council, 1969, for "Narrow road to the deep North"; Best New Play award, Plays and Players, 1976 and 1985, for "The fool" and for "The war plays," respectively; Northern Arts Literary fellow, 1977-1979.
