The plot of the drama “Have I None” has been set in a post-apocalyptic society where emotions, memories, and empathy are forbidden. The focus of the play is aimed at denying genocide, collective guilt, glorifying war criminals, and refusing to face the past.
“I believe that Edward Bond was also in fear for a better future when he was writing this Orwellian play. He wrote it to warn his viewers what awaits them if they relax and leave their will to a dictator because a dictatorship is a way of life. It is a religion and school and family and art and knowledge and health and military… And what not! A dictatorship is a dictatorship in everything! That’s what Bond was afraid of when he wrote this piece and tried to warn us not to be seduced by sweet stories but to rely on our reasoning and to perfect it as much as possible. There is talk about the fear of petty bourgeoisie, there is talk about sick relationships at home and in a family, about sick relationships in male-female communication, about fear in the face of authority that damages every step towards communication”. – Alban Ukaj, director.
After the play, Q&A sessions were organized with the actors, the director, and the audience.
