About In Two Minds

Listed Under Theatre Events

By Joanne Ryan

Four-time Fringe First and Olivier award-winning Fishamble returns to the Traverse.

From writer Joanne Ryan (Lustrum Award winner) and director Sarah Jane Scaife (Beckett sa Chreig: Laethanta Sona) comes a tale of an adult child and parent sharing the same home. Pom Boyd (The Dry) and Karen McCartney (A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings) perform a delicate piece grappling with mental health, love and humanity. In Two Minds finds insight in the darkness, humour in the pain, and tenderness in difficult family dynamics.

Winner of the Green Room Award for Best New Play

In Two Minds is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
