Octagon Theatre Bolton

Set over one eventful night in a pub in the North of England, Two is a play about people. People in their extraordinary, and ordinary, everyday lives, and the strength of the human spirit - stronger than anything on offer behind the bar.

From opening time to last orders, all walks of life pass through this pub, and the comings and goings are watched over by the all-seeing, and all knowing, proprietors - the landlord and landlady at the heart and soul of their local. So get yourself a drink and settle in, it’ll all be happening tonight…

First performed at the Octagon in 1989, the Sunday Times called the play a “brilliantly, surrealistically and comically poetic” piece. The production won the Manchester Evening News Best New Play Award before transferring to the Young Vic in London. Subsequently this ever popular play has been revived twice at the Octagon over the years.
