13 by Mike Bartlett

In the shadow of economic despair and restless protest, Londoners are haunted by the same, unshakable nightmare. As the Prime Minister contemplates war, a young man emerges from the darkness — carrying with him a dazzling vision of change.

In 13, award-winning playwright Mike Bartlett weaves together prophecy and politics, faith and fear. Set in a London both real and surreal, it is a bold and unsettling exploration of belief in uncertain times — where coincidence becomes destiny, and the line between dream and reality begins to blur.

This production marks the first performance of the year from The Guernsey Institute’s UAL Level 3 Year 2 and Level 4 students, showcasing their talent, ambition and skill.
