"An intensely disturbing experience...We are careering towards a society, Bartlett implies, that sees all and understands nothing...It's grotesquely funny - and it chills to the bone." Sam Marlowe, The Times, 05.06.08 "Contradictions...speaks with brutally entertaining, bullet-point directness to the slaving, anxiety-ridden middle-classes...This two-hander is often ferociously funny while being absolutely appalling...Bartlett rustles up one humiliation after another - achieving an Orwellian finesse in his depiction of absolute power." "The needling precision of of Bartlett's language and the toxic swirling clouds of subtext that lie couched in every silence." Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph, 05.06.08 "Bartlett's chilling black comedy [is] an allegoric satire upon a world in which freedom's boundaries close in upon you and an individual's intimate relations are subject to surveillance and control by omnipotent authority." Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard, 05.06.08 "Bartlett, in the manner of early absurdist plays by Havel or Ionesco, takes a plausible premise to a lethal conclusion." Michael Billington, Guardian, 05.06.08 "What we witness here is a form of torture, for all its apparent civility." Paul Taylor, Independent, 06.06.08

Contractions, a new play by Mike Bartlett, will be published to coincide with the production at the Royal Court Theatre, London, from 29 May - 14 June 2008. 'Come in. Sit down. How are you?' 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. An ink-black comedy about work and play, which invites the audience to a meeting at the centre of the Royal Court building.
