Two
9–11 March 2006
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 Jum Cartwright whose other plays are consistently performed aroudn the world and have been translated into twenty languages. They include Road and The Rise and Fall of Little Voice upon which the film Little Voice was based.
