Ibiza ... Thirty Years On "Are you honestly still pissed off about what happened thirty years ago?"Michael Neil D'Souza as Dev, Peter Bramhill as Chris and James Hillier as Michael.…
In a play for our times from Defibrillator ; Gemma Lawrence tells the story of isolation in the tower blocks on the outskirts of the city.

Mike Bartlett is well on his way to becoming established as our best living British playwright. I see only Tom Stoppard as his competition. Twelve years ago, this was his first play, not published until 2011 by Methuen as a part of the first collection of Mike Bartlett plays but Not Talking had never been produced onstage until James Hillier of Defibrillator proposed it.
