«Lear» is the play by Edward Bond published by Bloomsbury Methuen Drama in paperback (104 pages, in English).
The play draws on the myth of Lear to explore, between war and politics, the violence that inhabits unjust societies. Bond links corrupted innocence with a false social morality that fuels aggression, and uses blindness as a metaphor for lucidity: when power takes precedence over justice, nothing truly changes.
The play was originally published in 1972 and is part of Methuen's Modern Plays series.
Aimed at students of English literature and theatre readers interested in reinterpretations of Shakespeare.
