Abstract
Sustaining his reputation for production work that is both original and challenging, Edward Bond worked closely with the directors ofJacketsduring its productions at Lancaster and in Leicester and London in 1989–90. After a mixed experience with the RSC directing hisWar Plays, Bond continued to develop his concept of ‘theatre events’, and to work towards the particular style of acting that is necessary for his work in performance. Ian Stuart, a doctoral candidate in dramatic art at the University of California, Santa Barbara, analyzes here how the resulting twin concepts of ‘theatre events’ and ‘theatre acting’ translated into practice, exploring both the workin-progress and its realization through setting, lighting, and critical response. Earlier reconstructions and analyses of Bond's plays in production in TQ and NTQ have included features onLearin TQ5 (1972) andThe Foolin TQ21 (1976), both at the Royal Court, and on his own production at the Cottesloe ofSummerin NTQ6 (1986).
