Critics Review
‘Short, slick and emotionally unflinching… delivers a decisive punch’
‘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 *‘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’
