"To have usurped the place of god, and lied..."
In his final days, Shakespeare measures the value of writing against the grim reality surrounding his Stratford garden: a vagrant girl rotting on the gibbet for the crime of looking for work; wealthy landowners like himself seeking the security of increased profit that impoverishes their tenants; a family who hates him for his emotional absence and neglect. Written by the great political dramatist of modern England, Edward Bond, Bingo explores the costs—physical, economic, human—of a life in art.
