Two by Jim Cartwright

Over the course of a single evening in a typical local pub, prepare to become intimately acquainted with your less than genial hosts, and the colourful characters who regularly pull up a stool.

Written in 1989 by multi award-winning and internationally acclaimed dramatist Jim Cartwright (The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, Road) Two features fourteen diverse characters, portrayed by just two actors. Chickenshed’s adaptation of this stunningly fresh and relevant piece will expertly play on Cartwright’s renowned use of language and humour, and emphasise the urgent physical style of this brilliant two-hander.
