A brand new production of Jim Cartwright’s gritty play, Two, will be performed at the Back Room of the Star Inn in Guildford from 2-7 November.

Presented by Guildford Fringe Theatre Company, Two will star Laurie Duncan (Hollyoaks) and Claire Marlein (Educating Rita).

The play was first performed in 1989 at the Octagon Theatre in Bolton. It follows the simple concept of two actors playing fourteen different characters between them. The action is set entirely in the local pub - in this case, The Back Room of The Star Inn.

The Landlord and Landlady’s cheery greetings and friendly banter barely disguise their contempt for each other. Having met outside the pub when they were kids, they now own the place. During the course of the evening, assorted customers pass through and we are given a small snapshot into each of their lives. Two is storytelling at its best.

The production is directed and produced by Nick Wyschna & Charlotte Bateup and comes hot on the heels of Guildford Fringe’s successful short tours of John Godber’s multi-role plays Teechers and Bouncers last year, as well as their recent online adult pantomime, Pinocchio Gets Wood. 

The venue will be operating at a reduced capacity to allow for social distancing measures, and face coverings will be mandatory.
