Edward Bond
THE FOOL is Edward Bond’s latest play. His association with this theatre started with the Royal Court Writer’s Group in the early ‘60s, and his first produced play THE POPE’S WEDDING was presented here as a Sunday Night Production Without Decor in 1962. His close connection with the theatre has continued since that time.
