Bull
By Mike BartlettPark Theatre - Park90, London
& touring
Who gets to stay? Who is pushed out? And who decides? Four colleagues sit in a meeting room. Jobs are on the line. The rules are unspoken, but everyone knows them. Bull is a strained and unsettling examination of workplace bullying, power and survival. As pressure builds, alliances shift and cruelty surfaces, exposing a system where fear thrives and empathy disappears. Sharp, darkly funny and deeply uncomfortable, Bull lays bare the human cost of a working culture shaped by competition, hierarchy and silence. How far will people go to protect themselves? Presented in Deafinitely Theatre's distinctive bilingual style combining British Sign Language and creative captions.

By Noël CowardWyndham's Theatre, London
Last year, Judith retired from her life-on-stage. Already, she misses the applause. Idling away at their country home, the rest of the family – reclusive novelist husband David and failure-to-launch children Sorrel and Simon – are too self-involved to be a good audience. So, Judith invites a young fan as her guest for the weekend. But unbeknownst to her, each of the Blisses have a guest of their own arriving at the very same time. Completely unsuited to hosting and allergic to compromise, the house quickly erupts into a chaos of parlour games, put-downs and unrequested encores.

The current lifespan of an operator is six weeks. That's the most we can hope for your time out there. October 1943. In a small office on the Avenue Foch in Paris, a Gestapo interrogator is questioning a young woman who has been known by many different names: Babuli, Jeanne-Marie, Nora, Madeleine. As one of the secret agents of Britain's Special Operations Executive - and the first female radio operator to be sent undercover into France - she has evaded capture far longer than most. But now she has been betrayed. As she faces the fate she has dreaded so long, memories crowd in - a beloved father, a thwarted lover, a gruelling journey to war, and an endless longing for her childhood piano. What has led her here? a small and quiet light is based on the life of Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan (1914-1944), an extraordinarily courageous woman who paid the ultimate price for her heroic fight against fascism.
