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.

The Landlord and Landlady are bound together by a need to keep their business afloat, while harbouring a dark and unspoken secret that threatens to tear their fragile relationship apart. They move seamlessly from talking directly to the audience and to their customers, and amid the constant verbal savagery at each other they gradually reveal the rich, intimate tapestry of numerous intersecting lives.

Written in 1989 by multi award-winning and internationally acclaimed dramatist Jim Cartwright (The Rise and Fall of Little VoiceRoadTwo 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.
