Five ambitious and exciting plays by the multi-award-winning playwright, hailed as "one of the prime movers in a new golden generation of British playwrights" (Independent), and introduced by the author.
Earthquakes in London (National Theatre & Headlong, 2010) is an epic drama about climate change, population explosion, social breakdown and worldwide paranoia, travelling from 1968 to 2525 and back again. "The theatrical equivalent of a thrilling roller-coaster ride" (Daily Telegraph).
Love, Love, Love (Paines Plough & Drum Theatre Plymouth, UK tour, 2010; Royal Court & Paines Plough, 2012) examines the baby boomer generation, from coming-of-age in the 1960s to retirement-age more than forty years later, in a play that "does the clash of generational world views with a devastating precision" (Guardian).
The Enemy is a short play in which a journalist seizes an opportunity to interview the man who shot Osama bin Laden. It was staged by Headlong as part of Decade (St Katherine's Dock, London, 2011), exploring 9/11 and its legacy.
13 (National Theatre, 2011) is a panoramic drama in which a young man returns to London, a city riven by social protest and upheaval, with a radical vision for the future. Premiered on the National's largest stage, it confirmed Bartlett's ability to tackle epic themes with supreme assurance: "His ambition is distinctive and immense" (Evening Standard).
Medea (Headlong, UK tour, 2012) is a startlingly modern version of Euripides' tragedy, exploring a woman's private fury at her husband's infidelity, while imprisoned in her marital home. "A savage play for today, superbly well done" (Mail on Sunday).

"Bartlett beautifully combines domestic and cosmic issues... It is, in every sense, a big play that has the courage of its convictions." —Guardian on Earthquakes in London
"An extraordinary, sprawling and chaotic drama... a vivid, sometimes surreal pageant of the personal and the political... unmissable." —Time Out on 13
"Smart and lightly done." —Independent on Medea
