Synopsis

A razor-sharp, acid-tongued new play by Mike Bartlett, one of the UK's most exciting and inventive young writers.

Two jobs.

Three candidates.

This would be a really bad time to have a stain on your shirt...

Bull opened at Crucible Studio Theatre, Sheffield, in February 2013 in a Sheffield Theatres Production, directed by Clare Lizzimore.

'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

'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
