An Intervention

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.
