Abstract
Edward Bond (1934- ), who is one of the contemporary British Playwrights, sees his playwrighting career as holding a mirror to the society and problems in the society. Again and again he
has penned the truth that everybody has the right to live in a more peaceful and happy society. That he himself has witnessed the World War II and the destruction aftermath is one of the turning points of his writing career. Bond, who handles people from every part of the society, writes about the children and their atmosphere in his play The Children (Bond, 2000a). By doing this, he has fulfilled his task of holding a mirror to the society.

Abstract
Yazarlık görevini
topluma ayna tutmak olarak belirleyen günümüz İngiliz oyun yazarlarından Edward
Bond (1934- ) toplumda gözlemlediği
aksaklıkları çekinmeden ele almıştır. Daha barışçıl ve sağlıklı toplumda
yaşamanın insan olarak herkesin hakkı olduğu gerçeğini oyunlarında sıklıkla
işlemiştir. II. Dünya Savaşı’nı ve sonrasındaki yıkımı bizzat yaşaması da
Edward Bond’un yazarlık yaşamındaki dönüm noktalarındandır. Oyunlarında her
kesimden insanları konu edinen Bond, özellikle son dönem oyunlarından The
Children (Çocuklar) oyununda öteki oyunlarından biraz farklı bir yol izleyerek
çocukları ve onların içinde bulundukları ortamı ele alır. Yaşanmasını
istemediği durumları oyunlarında vermek suretiyle topluma ayna tutma görevini
de bir anlamda yerine getirmiştir denebilir.
