📱 eBook en inglés MIKE BARTLETT PLAYS: TWO

Five ambitious and exciting plays by the multi-award-winning playwright, hailed as one of the prime movers in a new golden generation of British playwrights (Independent), and introduced by the author.

Earthquakes in London (National Theatre & Headlong, 2010) is an epic drama about climate change, population explosion, social breakdown and worldwide paranoia, travelling from 1968 to 2525 and back again. The theatrical equivalent of a thrilling roller-coaster ride (Daily Telegraph)

Love, Love, Love (Paines Plough & Drum Theatre Plymouth, UK tour, 2010; Royal Court & Paines Plough, 2012) examines the baby boomer generation, from coming-of-age in the 1960s to retirement-age more than forty years later, in a play that does the clash of generational world views with a devastating precision (Guardian).

The Enemy is a short play in which a journalist seizes an opportunity to interview the man who shot Osama bin Laden. It was staged by Headlong as part of Decade (St Katherines Dock, London, 2011), exploring 9/11 and its legacy.

13 (National Theatre, 2011) is a panoramic drama in which a young man returns to London, a city riven by social protest and upheaval, with a radical vision for the future. Premiered on the Nationals largest stage, it confirmed Bartletts ability to tackle epic themes with supreme assurance: His ambition is distinctive and immense (Evening Standard).

Medea (Headlong, UK tour, 2012) is a startlingly modern version of Euripides tragedy, exploring a womans private fury at her husbands infidelity, while imprisoned in her marital home. A savage play for today, superbly well done (Mail on Sunday)
