Bartlett Plays: 1 - Not Talking, My Child, Artefacts, Contractions, Cock (Paperback)

This first collection of Mike Bartlett's plays showcases the adroit expertise and flair of a writer known for laser-sharp political comment, tight dialectics and needlingly real characters.
"My Child "is a gut-wrenching exploration of the lengths a father will go to to have access to his child. The play creates a violent world where good intentions count for very little, and offers an incisive, honest look at what it means to be a good parent.
"Contractions" is an ink-black comedy about work and play: Emma's been seeing Darren. She thinks she's in love. Her boss thinks she's in breach of contract. The situation needs to be resolved.
"Artefacts" depicts a father-daughter reunion which, after 16 years, crosses between the world of a British teenager and an Iraqi expert in antiquity, and is complicated by the ambivalent gift of a precious Mespotamian vase.
"Cock "is a punchy play which takes a playful, candid look at one man's sexuality and the difficulties that arise when you realize you have a choice.
