Big Brum Theatre Company presents
A Window: a new play by Edward Bond
A room in a high rise flat. The window overlooks the city street.
A woman reads a story in a newspaper. It shatters her world. Her hopes for herself and the child she is carrying turn to fear. She tries to explain to her partner. He will not listen: “That kid’s a curse on me. Get rid of it or I’m out.”
Years later, her partner has long since vanished and the ‘kid’ is a young man. He takes great risks to help his mother but fails – she will destroy herself. When he is finally left alone he meets his lost father in a startling confrontation.
A Window is remarkable insight into the tangled problems of being human in an inhuman world, written by Edward Bond, internationally known as one of the world’s greatest playwrights: his 45 plays have been staged by the RSC, The National Theatre, The Nationale Theatre De la Colline, and in some 60 countries.
