An Intervention

They’ve been friends for years. Then one goes to an anti-war protest, and one doesn’t. One feels let down, one feels justified. One feels abandoned, one feels attacked. One gets spectacularly drunk, one tries to change their life.

From Mike Bartlett, the powerhouse writer of King Charles III, Cock, The 47th, and the TV drama Doctor Foster, An Intervention is a chilling and comical two-hander about what happens when you don’t see eye to eye with the people you love the most. It’s about needing one another, and failing one another. It’s about being honest and being outrageous. It’s about trying to connect in a changing world.
