Synopsis

A touching, funny play about what happens when you hate your best friend.

One of them went on the anti-war protest, shouted their lungs out, then got horrendously and staggeringly drunk.

The other stayed at home, watched TV for a bit, and thought about the future.

An Intervention premiered at the Watford Palace Theatre in April 2014, in a co-production with Paines Plough.

"Engaged, entertaining and forthright... not only politically engaged but also fiercely uncompromising in its mission to entertain."

- Exeunt Magazine

"Incisive, intimate, closely focused has Bartlett's astute wit and extraordinary ability to pinpoint the way maturity can suddenly slip away."

- Financial Times

"Superb intensely dramatic."

- WhatsOnStage

"Nimble and elegant [a] smart two-hander."

- The Stage

Mike Bartlett is an award-winning playwright whose plays have been seen at theatres including the National Theatre, Royal Court Theatre, Bush Theatre and Sheffield Theatres in the UK, and off-Broadway in New York.
