 Edward Bond (born in London on 18 July 1934) was the controversial playwright of Saved (1965), in which a baby in a pram is stoned to death, and of Lear (1971), a re-working of Shakespeare. He has written two notable screenplays: for Tony Richardson's Laughter in the Dark (1969, UK/Fr), adapting Nabokov, and for Nicolas Roeg's Australian-made Walkabout
(1971), in which he invested a children's story with unsettling perceptions
about cultural differences. He also collaborated on the English dialogue for
Blow-up (UK/Italy, d. Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966) and co-authored Days of Fury (UK/Italy, d. Antonio Calenda, 1973). Brian McFarlane, Encyclopedia of British Film
