Reviews
'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 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
