For Al Dunn’s debut as a director, he has chosen the play ‘Two’ by Jim Cartwright, which required him, his actors and the skilful production team to convert Teignmouth’s  Ice Factory into the public bar of The Stuck Pig pub, with its own distinctive beer mats.

Not only did the very talented Emma Firth and Dave Scott run their pub convincingly, but they portrayed all their customers, young and old in the true to life, well studied characterisations that you recognised everyone as if they were members of your own community as they related their own stories, or poured out their feelings. 

In some cases, their dramatic pauses and silences were most effective. 

Facial expressions conveyed their inner feelings of happy and sad times in these powerful scenes from their lives.

The most poignant and final scene was after the pub closed, when the landlord and landlady had a truthful heart to heart presenting a most moving and beautifully acted sequence to end this memorable and creative theatrical evening.

As there was no interval in this production, Al Dunn (the director) had compiled a pub quiz for every audience with himself as a Quiz Master, which was a novel and appropriate item.
