An Intervention

All conflict is personal. The war has taken many casualties. Will this friendship be the latest?

One of them has just been on the mass protest. The other watched a bit of it on TV.

Tom Zachar and Neila Stephens star in this touching comedy about what happens when you hate your best friend.

“Yeah it’s fun this conversation isn’t it, because we could be talking about the war or about my relationship with the mother of my child”

Mike Bartlett’s celebrated two-hander comedy about serious things returns, in a new revival from director Dom Stephens.

Writer: Mike Bartlett
Director: Dom Stephens
Performers: Neila Stephens and Tom Zachar

Mop N Bucket Theatre

Mop N Bucket began like most theatre companies; accidentally, in drama school, in a swirling mess of ideas.

Our first production, Lost Property, had many odd characters, but an unlikely duo stood out in particular; an incredibly obscene mop and bucket. Little did we know what would come of this surly pair.

Three years later, one long pandemic and plenty of boredom brought a new play, Raw Sex Appeal, to the Fringe in 2022. This play wrestled with the new world of the manosphere, incels, and toxic masculinity.

Mop N Bucket tends to make work about the horrible state of things, with a comedic twist. There’s a lot of bad in the world, and we need to be aware of it. More importantly, we need to laugh in the face of it, the ridiculousness of it all.

Mop N Bucket has more original plays in the pipeline. Until Tom finally gets off his tail and finishes the next one, we want to continue sharing plays with you that find the funny in the difficult topics.
