| Two By Jim Cartwright, Decadence by Steven Berkoff | ||||||
|
Thu 19th July to Sat 21st July at 7:30pm |
||||||
Two is a sharp, touching slice of English life with the action taking place over one evening in a pub. Decadence is a savagely funny piece that explodes onto the stage in a searing indictment of the English upper classes. Both plays combine minimal staging with maximum acting to stimulate the imagination and showcase the subtlety and power of the English language. |

His trademark style of bemused silliness has won him many fans up and down the country. Andrew O'Neill has emerged as one of the brightest and most inventive young comedians in the UK. A committed vegan, heavy metal fan and anarchist, his comedy ranges from the surreal to the silly, with a strong undercurrent of fun and a brain that doesn't function like other people's. |
