A Sheffield Theatres Production
Bull
By Mike Bartlett
Presented at Studio Theatre
Running time: aprox. 55 mins (no interval)
‘This is nothing to do with business’
Two jobs. Three candidates. This would be a really bad time to have a stain on your shirt…
By one of the UK’s most exciting young writers, Mike Bartlett (Earthquakes in London, Chariots of Fire, Love Love Love), this is the world premiere of Bull, a razor sharp play about office politics; or playground bullying – depending which side you’re on.
Standing Tickets available for £10.00 (£8.00 at previews)
For Mike Bartlett ‘s Bull, award-winning designer Soutra Gilmour has transformed the Studio into an arena. Cheaper standing tickets are available for every performance, and we are encouraging audience members to stand and experience the Studio in a completely unique way.
