Game by Mike Bartlett
In a housing crisis, a young couple are offered a home of their own. But at what price? Mike Bartlett's provocative play Game invites us to spy on a family as they embark on a dangerous new way to live. Game premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in February 2015.'Short, sharp, pulse-quickening.. a dark, riveting drama packed with ideas'
* Telegraph *'A knockout... I couldn't look away'
* Financial Times *'Powerful... a fearsome vision of the future that is also an acute comment on the present'
* The Arts Desk *'Audacious... its chutzpah [is] as exhilarating as its message is depressing
