Artefacts Summary

Artefacts by Mike Bartlett

Sixteen-year-old Kelly has never known her Dad. Turns out he's from Iraq, which her mum never mentioned, and he's brought an ancient Mesopotamian vase as some kind of present. But Kelly doesn't want a vase. She wants her dad to stay and get to know her. It's not the reunion either of them expected and for Kelly, it's the beginning of an epic and dangerous journey. Mike Bartlett has been described as 'One of the most exciting new talents to emerge in recent times'. (The Stage). His first play My Child was called 'Brutal, thrilling, unmissable' (Evening Standard) and 'the theatrical equivalent of a firecracker'. (Metro).

Artefacts Reviews

'Mike Bartlett, still only in his mid-twenties, is a dramatist of rare economy and dramatic power.' Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph, 27.02.08 'I was left full of admiration for this dramatist's combination of power and precision ... this is dramatic writing of a very high order indeed.' Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph, 27.02.08 Written with great economy, humour and theatrical verve, Mike Bartlett's fascinating new play explores the differences in family life between London and Baghdad' Aleks Sierz, The Stage, 26.02.08 'I cannot recall when I last saw so much, on both narrative and thematic levels, crammed into a one-act 80-minute play without the whole thing bursting messily under the strain.' Ian Shuttleworth, Financial Times, 27.02.08 'This is a play teachers, Education Ministers and advertising agency executives should see, to grasp what an immature country they are creating' Quentin Letts, Daily Mail, 26.02.08
