Jim Cartwright’s Two pours a strong night in Prescot at Shakespeare North Playhouse
My first visit to Shakespeare North in Prescot felt oddly close to home. It’s not far from where I grew up, though Prescot itself always felt like another world. Jim Cartwright’s Two has also travelled a long road since its first staging in the 1980s, but for me and the artist I went with it was completely new. We walked in without history, meeting the play as if it had just been written.
