Mitch and Murray Productions presents the Canadian premiere of AN INTERVENTION by Mike Bartlett, March 8th-17th at Performance Works on Granville Island, 1218 Cartwright Street.

In An Intervention, Bartlett (Oliver Award-winning writer of Snowflake, Cock, Scandaltown) explores friendship, responsibility, and the murky territory that exists at the boundary between them. Two longtime friends are deeply divided over a foreign war in the Middle East. The more present dilemma for them is again one of intervention – when is it right to intervene in a friend’s personal conflict? The piece examines the age of outrage with razor-sharp intellect, wit, and empathy.

What critics are saying:

An Intervention by British playwright Mike Bartlett is the epitome of entertaining, meaningful and beautifully crafted theatre. A ‘must-see,’ An Intervention is ironically funny, shockingly tense, and desperately sad all at once.”   – Vancouver Presents

An Intervention is a sensationally fascinating two-hander with an incisively funny, clever and sometimes intense script. Compelling performances by Kate Craven and Christiaan Westerveld.” – Vancouver Plays.

Under Aaron Craven’s excellent direction, these are two winning performances. Mitch and Murray Productions never fails to provide thought-provoking, timely, exciting theatre and An Intervention is no exception.” – JoLedingham.ca 

Despite its weighty subject matter, An Intervention balances moments of gravity with touches of humor and levity, creating a dynamic and engaging theatrical experience. I was absolutely enthralled by it from start to finish.” – Filled Up Cup

Run time: 80 minutes, no intermission. Content Advisory: Course language, suicidal ideation. Not suitable for children.
