Comedy to fore as TWO<br />
become 14 on stage<br />
Masterfully constructed,<br />
Jim Cartwright’s timeless<br />
comedy ‘TWO’ introduces<br />
14 colourful characters – all<br />
played by real-life couple<br />
Brian Meegan and Kate<br />
Raison.<br />
Set in the local pub, the<br />
audience for this Ensemble<br />
Theatre Production at the<br />
Glen Street Theatre in <strong>May</strong><br />
will meet all the regulars, a<br />
misfit crowd of eccentric and<br />
hilarious individuals.<br />
There’s Moth, who loves<br />
Maud (and every other<br />
woman) fervently; Mrs Iger,<br />
with her passion for quiet,<br />
strong men; possessive Roy,<br />
jealous of anybody who looks<br />
at Lesley (even the darts<br />
players); Alice and Fred and<br />
their Elvis obsession; and the<br />
landlord and landlady who<br />
struggle with an unspoken<br />
secret…<br />
By turns funny, heartwarming<br />
and poignant, TWO<br />
promises to be a lively night<br />
at the local in the company of<br />
two of our most accomplished<br />
and versatile actors.<br />
Brian Meegan and Kate<br />
Raison have previously<br />
worked together in ‘Wrong<br />
For Each Other’ and ‘Ninety’<br />
and are delighted to be<br />
working together again.<br />
“There are two of us, and<br />
two in the play,” says Kate.<br />
“The story centres on the<br />
landlady and landlord who<br />
work in a rural pub and all the<br />
fascinating characters that<br />
frequent it.<br />
“We are so lucky to be able<br />
to play all those characters.<br />
It’s a very funny piece, a<br />
comedy that’s also extremely<br />
heartfelt. It’s a joy for us to<br />
do.”<br />
Director Mark Kilmurry<br />
described playwright Jim<br />
Cartwright as a master at<br />
balancing comedy with the<br />
bittersweet.<br />
“TWO is one of his finest<br />
plays… I am thrilled to be<br />
working with Kate and Brian.<br />
It’s perfect casting, and a<br />
perfect play,” he said.<br />
