New York's Bridge Production Group will present Mike Bartlett’s Bull later this autumn.

Directed by Max Hunter (George Kaplan, See You), the intimate production will be staged for 50 audience members a night between September 19 and October 4 at the storefront theatre JACK at 20 Putnam Ave in Brooklyn. Opening night is set for September 22. 

The newest work from Bartlett (King Charles III) is a blistering look at workplace relationships when three employees face imminent layoffs and a simple truth: two will stay, one will go.

“Mike Bartlett’s Bull exposes a more honest and unvarnished view of the profound brutality underlying many of our daily interactions,” says Hunter in a statement. “Bartlett manages to entertain and horrify in tandem, creating a fast and furious theatrical experience that is hugely entertaining, deeply hilarious, and a tour-de-force showcase for our fantastic ensemble. In building this production within the intimate confines at JACK, the brutality of Bartlett’s characters is heightened by collapsing the distance between audience and action so that each minor abuse and shift in power becomes unavoidable, primal, visceral. Proximity strips away pretense, placing the audience into a position of complicity and confrontation, demanding an internal response to where and how each person draws their respective line in the sand.” 

The staging will star Kerstin Anderson (My Fair Lady), Miles G. Jackson (A Different Man), Alexander Pobutsky (American Fiction), and Paco Tolson (Vietgone).

The creative team will include scenic designer Thomas Jenkeleit, lighting designer Cheyenne Sykes, assistant director BT Hayes, production stage manager Roger Lipson, and asssistant stage manager Ari Richardson.
