Chariots of Fire by Mike Bartlett
1924. The Paris Olympic Games.
A devout Scottish Christian runs for the glory of God. The son of an immigrant Lithuanian Jew runs to overcome prejudice. Two young track athletes who live for the beautiful purity of running and who prevail in the face of overwhelming odds.
Based on the extraordinary true story of Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams, Chariots of Fire is an Olympic tale of hope, honour and belief.
Mike Bartlett exploded onto the scene in 2007 with the premiere of My Child at the Royal Court. Since then he has gone on to become one of his generation's most inventive and successful dramatists with plays such as Artefacts (2008), Cock (2009), Earthquakes in London (2010) and 13 (2011). 2012 saw the London premieres of Love, Love, Love, Medea and Chariots of Fire, which transferred from the Hampstead Theatre to the West End. His play Bull opened at the Sheffield Crucible in 2013 and transferred to New York as part of the Brits Off Broadway festival. Another new play, An Intervention, also opens in April 2014. Mike joined NHB's list of leading playwrights from Methuen last year. He lives in East London.
