Saved by British author EDWARD BOND magnificently captures the voice of the marginalized and, unapologetically, confronts violence. In 1965, the London censor banned Saved for a scene in which an infant is stoned, but it has since become a modern classic and is performed internationally.
The Royal National Theatre named Saved one of the most significant plays of the 20th Century. The play has not been seen in New York since it premiered during the birth of Off-Broadway along with the plays of Albee, Beckett and Genet. Critic John Lahr wrote, "When a playwright is prophetic, he teaches us how to feel as well as see...Edward Bond is such a writer and Saved is distinguished."
Director ROBERT WOODRUFF has staged Shakespeare, Shepard, Euripides and Brecht nationally and internationally. He directed the premieres of Sam Shepard's Curse of the Starving Class, Buried Child (Pulitzer Prize) and True West. His production of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors with the Flying Karamazov Brothers played the Olympic Arts Festival and Lincoln Center Theatre.
He recently staged Charles Mee's Full Circle at the American Repertory Theatre and directed The Changeling by Middleton and Rowely for Theatre for a New Audience.
