Synopsis

A razor-sharp new play from the award-winning writer of King Charles III and the BBC smash-hit, Doctor Foster.

They just don't like me, this is nothing to do with business.'

Bull offers you ringside seats as three employees fight to keep their jobs. But there's a fine line between office politics and playground bullying.

Following it's sold-out run earlier in the year, Mike Bartlett's acid-tongued play returns to London's Young Vic Theatre in December 2015.

Mike Bartlett is one of the UK's most exciting and inventive young writers. His plays have been performed in London's West End, at the National Theatre, the Royal Court, around the UK and on Broadway. These include King Charles III, Earthquakes in London, 13, My Child, Cock, and Love, Love, Love. He has written adaptations of Chariots of Fire (Hampstead and West End) and Medea (Headlong). His drama series The Town was broadcast on ITV in 2012. In 2015 he scored a huge television hit with the gripping BBC drama Dr Foster.

About this title

Product Description:

Bull

Review:

A gem of a new play... chillingly evokes the dynamics of bullying, in school, the work place, and elsewhere. --whatsonstage.com

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. --The Times

Short, slick and emotionally unflinching... delivers a decisive punch. --The Stage

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
