‘Bull’ is a modern dark comedy about the dark side of office rivalry and the effects of corporate downsizing; Three co-workers, Tony, Isabel, and Thomas, meet at the water cooler and anxiously wait for their boss to arrive and announce which one of them will be given the boot. The conversation quickly devolves into what is essentially playground bullying as they try to one up each other, with dialogue so well-written you’ll feel like you’re back in school yourself.

The title ‘Bull’ is perhaps a nod to Bullying or even Bullfighting, as the original adaptation sets up the stage as a boxing ring with a lonely water cooler in one corner. Tackling themes of power, ambition and bullying, this raw, quick-paced, gripping drama is presented as RTC’s A-side professional fringe theatre piece directed by Jayne Giordanella. The cast features Edward Thorpe, Kelly Peplow, Alex Weenink and Bob Cardona.
