The Worlds with The Activists Papers

Rate this book
The Worlds is set in modern times. It contrasts factory strikes, a businessman's take-over and terrorist kidnap-pings. Its cast ranges from those who sit in the cabinet to those who work on the shop floor, from a chief policeman to terrorists on the run. It looks at the moral basis of our social life, asks 'Who are the greatest terrorists?' and gives a disturbing answer.

Also included in this volume are The Activists Papers, an extensive collection of essays, poems, stories and statements written by Bond while he was directing the play. In them he examines basic questions of culture in both the narrow and broad sense - and looks at the future not only of literature but of ourselves.
