Hailed by The Stage as 'one of the most exciting new talents to emerge in recent times', Mike Bartlett has worked with various theatres since graduating, including Paines Plough, the Royal Court, Soho and Hampstead. He is a winner of the Old Vic New Voices Award and is currently participating in the prestigious Pearson Playwrights Scheme. His radio play, Not Talking, was nominated for a Sony Award.

It's a brutal, thrilling offering from a venue that is making itself urgent once more. Fiona Mountford, Evening Standard, 10th April 2007 It is a really edgy drama that shows Mike Bartlett to have an original and totally convincing authorial voice. Philip Fisher, The British Theatre Guide, 10th April 2007 This is Mike Bartlett's first stage play. It lasts only 45 minutes, and I'd never have thought that so much life, anger and pain could be contained in such a short span. John Peter, The Sunday Times, 20th May 2007 "Brutal, thrilling... unmissable" Evening Standard "Ferocious... vividly visceral" The Guardian
