A razor-sharp play about the fine line between office politics and playground bullying, Bull offers ringside seats as three employees fight to keep their jobs. Mike Bartlett's acid-tongued play opened at the Young Vic, London, in 2015. It was originally performed at the Crucible Studio Theatre Sheffield in 2013, and was subsequently produced Off-Broadway in New York. "Sinewy, stinging, witty... it's as if Bartlett has taken the nastiest needling from a Mamet or a Pinter play and put them into a space of pure verbal aggression." - London "Times" "Short, slick and emotionally unflinching... delivers a decisive punch." - "The Stage" "A gem of a new play... chillingly evokes the dynamics of bullying, in school, the work place, and elsewhere." - "Whatsonstage.com" "A writer with a startling breadth of ambition coupled with an ear for dialogue unmatched by many of his contemporaries... "Bull" taps into something incredibly relevant and potent." - "Exeunt Magazine" Mike Bartlett is a multi-award-winning writer for both stage and screen.
