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 Katherine's 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 National's largest stage, it confirmed Bartlett's 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 woman's private fury at her husband's infidelity, while
imprisoned in her marital home. 'A savage play for today, superbly
well done' (Mail on Sunday)
