Description: A street is being evacuated, people piled into trucks - Peter and Donna are ejected from their room, one suitcase each. They are afraid for their son Luke, but he puts on a uniform and joins the fighting, asking questions of an ailing and silent world. 'Born' was first staged at the Avignon Festival in 2006. It is the third play in Bond's 'The Paris Pentad' (originally called 'The Colline Tetralogy'), preceded by 'The Crime of the Twenty-First Century' and 'Coffee', and followed by 'People' and 'Innocence'.
Notes: Previously issued in print: in Plays eight. London: Methuen Drama, 2006.
