  • Details
  • Additional information

A touching, funny play about what happens when you hate your best friend.

One of them went on the anti-war protest, shouted their lungs out, then got horrendously and staggeringly drunk. The other stayed at home, watched TV for a bit, and thought about the future.

Mike Bartlett’s play An Intervention premiered at the Watford Palace Theatre in April 2014, in a co-production with Paines Plough.

‘Engaged, entertaining and forthright… not only politically engaged but also fiercely uncompromising in its mission to entertain’
— Exeunt Magazine

‘Incisive, intimate, closely focused… has Bartlett’s astute wit and extraordinary ability to pinpoint the way maturity can suddenly slip away’
— Financial Times

‘Superb… intensely dramatic’
— WhatsOnStage

‘Nimble and elegant… [a] smart two-hander’
— The Stage
