Two 2 @ Preston Playhouse Theatre

The Hall Players have the privilege of presenting the follow-up: TWO 2. The first play showed how the couple’s marriage had hit the skids; now the pub itself is in trouble, out of touch, out of beer and struggling to attract a clientele who would rather queue up outside the theme bar along the road.

A struggling northern boozer is hanging on – but only just. The regulars have faded, like the stains on the old tabletops one last gasp attempt to stay in business, the landlord has pulled out all the stops for a gala night with karaoke, pub quiz and speed dating to which the audience is – quite literally – invited.
