Our writers have taken five key moments/extracts from each of the set plays for Section B and have created a series of revision essays, notes and student handouts that will allow your students to revise each key moment in terms of the following aspects:

This booklet takes the following five scenes from Saved: Scene 1, 3, 8, 8 and 12 and analyses them all in detail. The booklet will ensure that your students understand:

-The key messages behind each scene and the playwright's purpose.
-The social, political and cultural messages that Bond was trying to convey in each scene and how audiences reacted to these.
-The play's production history in both London and Germany and the critical reception of the play.
-Bond's realist style and how to approach this in performance.
-The legacy of this play and the influence on other playwrights such as Kane, Ravenhill and Neilson.
-Bond's structural and linguistic devices within each scene.
-The main themes within each scene and how to convey these to an audience.
-Practical ideas for a contemporary production of these scenes.
-In depth character analysis of major characters such as Len, Pam, Harry and Mary.
-The use of pace, timing and proxemics in the scenes.
-The significance of symbols such as doors or the Radio Times.
-Sound and lighting choices for the scenes.


Each section will encourage students to answer questions, make revision notes and consider how they would stage the key moments for a
performance in theatre today. The booklet is perfect to use once you have completed the initial reading of the play with your students and want to start more indepth analysis of key moments.
