TheatreGB @theatregb.com · 14/02/2025Bartlett is a master at taking ideas that could be played for easy laughs and twisting them into something weightier. Here, the British sex comedy is the Trojan horse; inside is a play about identity and repression. This isn’t just a play about sex. It’s a play about what we use sex to cover up. 100

TheatreGB @theatregb.com · 14/02/2025🦄 Unicorn isn’t what you think it is. In Mike Bartlett's newest play, you're lured in with the promise of a cheeky British sex comedy—but beneath the laughs, this play rips apart assumptions about love, power, and polyamory. So how does Unicorn break the mould? 100

TheatreGB @theatregb.com · 21/01/2025“Saving the world is filthy business,” says Don Pearlman in Kyoto. The play critiques the hypocrisy of climate talks, from the carbon emissions of delegates to the entrenched power of oil companies. Did the Kyoto Protocol work? The cherry blossoms in Kyoto that fall earlier each year say otherwise. 100
TheatreGB @theatregb.com · 21/01/2025Stephen Kunken is mesmerising as Don Pearlman in Kyoto. His performance is razor-sharp, intellectual, and deeply menacing. Yet, like all great villains, Pearlman is disarmingly funny—adding an unsettling charisma to his cold-blooded calculations. 100
