TWO

Venue: The Walker Theatre

A sharp and touching slice of English life set in a northern pub owned by a savagely bickering husband and wife. Two is a series of short vignettes that skilfully combines pathos and humour, with all fourteen characters played by two actors. During the course of the evening assorted customers pass through including a little boy left behind by his father - an event which triggers a movement towards a fragile reconciliation between the pub couple, as their own dark tragedy is revealed.

Two is written by award winning playwright Jim Cartwright whose other plays are consistently performed around the world and have been translated into twenty languages and include Road and The Rise and Fall of Little Voice upon which the film Little Voice was based.

"A sharp, salty quick fire evocation of the surface gaiety and underlying melancholia of English pub life."
The Guardian

"Jim Cartwright is one of the mavericks of British theatre."
Daily Telegraph

"Brilliantly, surrealistically and comically poetic."
Sunday Times

"Broad humour, dry wit and often shudderingly moving poetry."
