Masterfully constructed, Jim Cartwright’s timeless comedy TWO introduces fourteen colourful characters, all played by real-life couple Brian Meegan and Kate Raison.
Set in the local pub, you’ll meet all the regulars, a misfit crowd of eccentric and hilarious individuals. There’s Moth, who loves Maud (and every other woman) fervently; Mrs Iger, with her passion for quiet, strong men; possessive Roy, jealous of anybody who looks at Lesley (even the darts players); Alice and Fred and their Elvis obsession; and the landlord and landlady who struggle with an unspoken secret…
By turns funny, heart-warming and poignant, TWO promises to be a lively night at the local in the company of two of our most accomplished and versatile actors.
Brian Meegan and Kate Raison have previously worked together in Wrong For Each Other and Ninety and are delighted to be working together again.
“There are two of us, and two in the play. The story centres on the landlady and landlord who work in a rural pub and all the fascinating characters that frequent it. We are so lucky to be able to play all those characters. It’s a very funny piece, a comedy that’s also extremely heartfelt. It’s a joy for us to do.”
Director Mark Kilmurry said: “Jim Cartwright is a master at balancing comedy with the bittersweet, and TWO is one of his finest plays. I am thrilled to be working with Kate Raison and Brian Meegan, perfect casting, perfect play.”
