Bond Plays 7 - Olly's Prison & Coffee & The Crime of the Twenty-First Century

The Crime of the Twenty-First Century when the past has been abolished and geography - even the sky - is changed. A woman lives in a vast desert of white rubble. A tiny group of people comes seeking a hiding place - and is exposed to the deepest questions of human existence

Olly's Prison - an ordinary city flat. Evening. A man tries to talk to his daughter. She will not answer. Slowly their world turns to tragedy and a search begins that lasts for years

Coffee - A young man alone in a room. A stranger enters. Together they journey into a dark forest ... When the men return to the daylight world, they are involved in a trivial incident. It is hardly more than a gesture - yet it is something that once happened and in its triviality captures the history of our century and confronts us with the deepest questions about ourselves
