My Child by Mike Bartlett
A real man is strong. A real man is driven. A real man provides. A father finds himself being phased out of his son's life. Denied access to his only child, he goes to extraordinary lengths to hold on to him. My Child throws us into a violent world where good intentions count for very little, and offers an incisive, honest look at what it means to be a good parent. Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre Jerwood Theatre Downstairs, this is a remarkably powerful and affecting work from a writer hailed by The Stage as 'one of the most exciting new talents to emerge in recent times'.-

"Cock"
It's a brutal, thrilling offering from a venue that is making itself urgent once moreFiona Mountford, Evening Standard, 10th April 2007 It is a really edgy drama that shows Mike Bartlett to have an original and totally convincing authorial voice. Philip Fisher, The British Theatre Guide, 10th April 2007 This is Mike Bartlett's first stage play. It lasts only 45 minutes, and I'd never have thought that so much life, anger and pain could be contained in such a short span. John Peter, The Sunday Times, 20th May 2007 "Brutal, thrilling... unmissable" Evening Standard "Ferocious... vividly visceral" The Guardian
