Edward Bond deals with the problem of injustice, which trivializes human relationships, and produces hysteria and violence, in terms of racial discrimination and economic interests in his plays Grandma Faust, The Swing and Stone.
In Grandma Faust and The Swing which analyzes the values that inform American society, Bond employs "aggro-effect" which emotionally commits the audience, unlike Brecht's alienation effect. In Grandma Faust the seriousness of racial segregation is compared to an auction and a wrestling match. The audience participates in the comic ritual with the audience in the play. Both groups become one foolish mass joining a burlesque. The technique of "a play within a play" and comic parody of serious issues give the audience an emotional commitment as well as critical detachment. With these techniques the author's fury on the racial segregation is effectively dramatized.
The Swing is one of the most appalling of Bond's plays, and one of his very best. Bond uses a historical incident to analyse American racism (The Swing is subtitled "A Documentary"). The most terrible act of violence done in the play is to crush an innocent person publicly and proudly. This shocks and moves so deeply because the whole weight of a society's morality has been completely mobilized. The conflict between historical fact and dramatic fiction as well as the historical spectators (the audience in the play) sitting with the real audience makes the real audience participate in the historical ritual of the mass hysteria, letting the audience recognize their potential for socially-approved violence and responsibility. During the performance of the play the effective combination of epic technique's alienation effect and grotesque humor keeps unfailing tension between critical detachment and emotional involvement.
Stone is a moral parable of the frustration and revolt of an underprivileged in the society of materialism. The conflict between the established system and the low class is the theme of the play. The play is quite Brechtian in that its structure is episodic and the play employs several songs. Instead of the comedy in Grandma Faust, and the grotesque humor in The Swing, the fury against the system explodes unemotionally through the action of Man killing Mason, the symbol of the system. The audience as the only and sole observers, unlike the two former plays, participate in the solemn ritual of killing Mason. The author, who criticized the vicious circle of violence including violence and counter-violence, is frustrated with the obsolete and unchanging Establishment which absolutely takes sides with the privileged. His fury against the system is dramatized in the symbolic act of Man, through which Bond appeals to the audience the need of the change of the system.
