A razor-sharp play about the fine line between office politics and playground bullying, Bull offers ringside seats as three employees fight to keep their jobs.

Editorial 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." - London 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
