Description: 'Coffee' centres around the death of a child and asks disturbing questions about the history of the twentieth century, through an examination of what constitutes acceptable behaviour towards children in our time. 'Coffee' was first staged in 2000 at Le Théâtre National de la Colline in Paris. It is the first play in Bond's 'The Paris Pentad' (originally called 'The Colline Tetralogy'), and is followed by 'The Crime of the Twenty-First Century', 'Born', and 'People'.
