Two Come Home

Fri 23 Jan

It’s winter in a small, isolated town in the Appalachian mountains. Ex-con and recovered addict Evan lives a simple and solitary existence until some old ghosts return to unbury a decade’s worth of pain.

Direct from an acclaimed off-west end run at The Cockpit Theatre, having received 5-star reviews and a whopping seven Fringe Theatre Award nominations, Two Come Home is an unflinching tale of poverty, addiction, and homophobia. A unique combination of true crime, romance, and family drama all set to a haunting live soundtrack. 

Run time: 90 minutes plus interval

Trigger warnings: This production contains haze, loud noises, gunshot sound effects, strong language, nudity, depictions of violence and death, references to physical and sexual assault.
