Summary/Abstract: Summary Тhe purpose of this paper is to show the similarity of views between the Eng- lish playwright Edward Bond and artists such as Harold Pinter and Peter Sellars, who in their works also address the problem of social injustice and violence in the modern world. The aim of this paper is to present Bond’s vision of the problem, elaborated in his essays and a war play called Summer, as well as to highlight the emphasis he puts on the importance of personal struggle for humaneness in an inhuman and unjust world. Bond offers many valuable insights into how destructive ideologies can be transcended by imagination, which he believes still has the potential to revive human- ity and restore the lost dignity of man.
