As well as providing a detailed commentary on his plays, the notebooks also contain early play drafts, poems and stories, his thoughts on life, art, Brecht, dramatic method and censorship."1 August 1965: I would do almost anything to prevent my play [Saved] being banned except alter one comma at the request of the Lord Chamberlain."Edward Bond is "a great playwright - many, particularly in continental Europe, would say the greatest living English playwright" (Independent)
