scene 1 pg. 1-29

i had to abandon the book i was reading and get cracking on these plays for english. i have to read four of them for my research project along side All the Pretty Horses. quite a bit of reading...

anyway, the plays are by Edward Bond. the first one i am reading is called Saved.

the play is basically about this baby that gets stoned and murdered, but thats really all i know...

so far i have read scene 1.

so far, Pam has brought Len home for sex. She insists on using the living-room because her bed isn’t made. They have just met and when Len asks Pam her name, she says, “Yer ain’ arf nosey.” They have trouble getting comfortable. Harry, her father, comes in and goes out again. Len is somewhat disconcerted, but Pam doesn’t seem to mind the interruption at all. Pam and Len continue their sex play, Harry again puts his head in, and Pam and Len offer him candy (laced with sexual innuendo). Finally, they hear Harry leave the house for work and as Pam undoes Len’s belt, Len says, “This is the life.”
