The events of the play in our hands take place in the sixties of the last century in London, during a period of great social changes. The theme of the play is the cultural and civilizational poverty and great frustration experienced by an entire generation of young people living on social aid.
In “Rescued,” Bond appears to enjoy exhausting our senses by torturing an infant - in a public park - whose mother had left him with his father. What is most horrific is that the alleged father joins his companions in practicing this violence against the infant, to the point of death, without a clear reason. But the critics who defended Bond - and they are few - realized that when he presents a scene like this, he presents it to condemn that political, social, moral and economic vacuum through what T. s. Eliot calls art the “objective equivalent.”
