Unicorn

'Snappy and full of quotable lines... a rollicking, stimulating ride... Bartlett is expert at upending audiences' thinking... Unicorn exercises the brain as well as other organs'

'Sophistication, wit and insight... a well-made play that is intricately entertaining... a ménage à trois steeped in an acid understanding of ageing and mortality... Bartlett is in a line with Harold Pinter in making every word count'

'Despite the twinkling title, there is nothing fey about this drama. Bartlett invites the audience to dismantle the traditional idea of marriage... The action is clear and witty... I have rarely seen actors change from within so subtly and definitively'

'Very colourfully candid'

'Very, very funny. Bartlett's writing hits its targets with unerring precision'

'Thoughtful and spikily funny'

'Gloriously funny and deeply empathetic... a profound meditation on relationships, ageing, honesty, and our capacity to change'

'Captivating... Bartlett's writing impresses throughout'

'Bartlett returns to the essential subject of intimacy in an age obsessed with physical sex, this time with more seriousness about mores and moralities beneath his characteristic wickedly-perceptive dialogue... it's often hootingly funny'

'Bold and thought-provoking... takes unexpected twists and turns, keeping the audience permanently intrigued... Bartlett's razor-sharp dialogue... also incredibly funny'

'Storming... a brilliant play... Immediate. Gripping. Filled with raw truths and blunt honesty'

'Bartlett is the master of dialogue and Unicorn mixes sharp humour with weighty matters; sometimes dark but lit up by its dazzling one-liners'
