An Intervention

Mitch and Murray Productions presents the Canadian premiere of AN INTERVENTION by Olivier Award-winning playwright Mike Bartlett (Snowflake, Cock, Scandaltown).

Bartlett’s play is an exploration of friendship, responsibility, and the murky territory that exists at the boundary between them. Two longtime friends are deeply divided over a foreign war in the Middle East. The more present dilemma for them is again one of intervention – when is it right to intervene in a friend’s personal conflict?

The piece examines the age of outrage with razor-sharp intellect, wit, and empathy. It’s a nuanced and beautiful examination of two humans and friends buckling under the strain of modern day anxieties. It’s the perfect play for our times.

What critics said about previous productions:

“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

Directed by Aaron Craven. Featuring Kate Craven and Christiaan Westerveld.
