A longtime fan of Cartwright's plays, I wasn't sure what to expect with this new one, but this is THE BEST PLAY I HAVE READ IN 3 YEARS!! I am a director of new plays and read 10 plays a week...this is absolutely brilliant. The combination of poetry, metaphor, action, character re-definition - - it's his best work yet, and crucial for any one writing plays. I can't rave enough about it.

This play was recently voted the 36th best of all time, and its easy to see why. It has never been put on in the US, mainly because of its downbeat message and the fact that it relies on something of an understanding of Britain, but you truly are missing out on something special. This play is a political, poetic vision of despair, the endlessness and emptiness of life in poverty. It is a fantastic character study which inspires, moves and is tragically heartbreaking.

TWO IS AN EXTREMELY WELL WRITTEN PLAY, AND THE IDEA OF HAVING TWO ACTORS PLAYING ALL OF THE CHARACTERS, IS A VERY GRAND IDEA IF THE ACTORS ARE EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO DO THAT. I PERSONNALLY BELIEVE THAT IF THE CHARACTERS ARE PLAYED BY DIFFERENT ACTORS, YOU CAN HAVE ALOT MORE COSTUME ETC. FOR THEM TO WEAR. THE BUILT UP BETWEEN THE LANDLORD AND LANDLADY'S FINAL SCENE IS EXCELLENT, BAECAUSE BEFORE THEY HAVE THEIR EMOTIONAL OUTBURST, THEY KEEP HAVING LITTLE DIGS AT EACH OTHER, UNTIL FINALLY THEY EXPLODE AND CAN'T TAKE NOT TALKING ABOUT THEIR SHARED LOSS. "TWO" IS AN EXCELLENT PLAY AND SHOULD BE READ BY ALL.

I was fortunate to be part of a production of Road a few years ago and it was a profound experience as much for the remarkable text and what it offers to the artists, as for the direction and extraordinary actors I was privilaged to be able to work with at the time. Jim Cartwright is an important and unashamed writer.

I was fortunate to star in a production of "Road" It is a truly magnificient piece of work, and must be read by all. Do not be discouraged by the language and strong tone it really adds to the realism of the entire piece

A wonderful script with powerful characters and wonderful plot! This is one guaranteed to delight audiences, with an eclectic grouping of lower class Brits and one beautiful shining star, Little Voice. Cartwright has developed a play that is fun, light hearted and guaranteed to be enjoyed by audience's of all ages with 'guest appearances' by famous stars. The only problem with this script, is finding an actress with the ability to impersonate so many celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland. If possible, though, this script is surefire winner.
