Contractions

Mike Bartlett’s Contractions is a razor-sharp black comedy which revels in the dark absurdities of corporate culture.

In a series of chillingly polite meetings, Emma finds her personal relationship dissected by The Manager in the name of company policy. As the inquiries become more invasive and the consequences more severe, the distinction between protocol and control begins to vanish.

With biting humour and unnerving precision, Contractions interrogates how authority cloaks itself in procedure, and the destruction wrought by systems which demand compliance over humanity.
