The Story:
Two jobs. Three candidates. This would be a really bad time to have a stain on your shirt...
This vicious comedy is an allegorical death match between business colleagues—full of bizarre power plays and one-upmanship—wherein one of three employees is allegedly going to be fired. The odds against our protagonist are stacked from the outset: rumple-faced sad-sack Thomas never quite gets his footing against opponents Tony, a shark in wolf's clothing, and Isobel, a snaky number with a talent for undermining. In savvy fashion, Mike Bartlett's Bull caters to our baser instincts.
