Hull Truck Theatre presents… TWO Written by Jim Cartwright and directed by Nick Lane Put down your pint and head to Wyeside Arts Centre on Tuesday 4 March as Hull Truck Theatre is rolling into town with a new production of Jim Cartwright’s pub_based comedy, Two. The play gives a sharply_observed glimpse into northern life – on both sides of the bar. Although Two features an array of 14 larger_than_life characters, they are all played by just two versatile actors, giving the action a quick_fire humour. At the heart of action are the bickering landlord and landlady, who turn to their colourful clientele for company rather than each other. We meet slick_talking, gold_chained Lothario ‘Moth’, Mrs ‘I love big men’ Iger, Smelly Jimmy and Fred and his wife Alice, who has not been the same since Elvis died. Two is written by leading British playwright Jim Cartwright (The Rise and Fall of Little Voice) and won the Manchester Evening News Best New Play Award after it premiered in 1989. This 2008 version will be directed by Hull Truck’s Associate Director Nick Lane, who has established an impressive reputation as a talented Director. This production of Two is a great opportunity to see one of the nation’s top playwrights and favourite theatre companies combine to create a realistic and hilarious snapshot of pub life up north.
