A decade after a dramatic split, star-crossed lovers reunite at the worst time.
Guilt, rage, and love collide in this award-winning new play with music.

It’s winter in an isolated rural town where ex-prisoner and recovered addict Evan leads a solemn and solitary existence, until some old ghosts return to unbury a decade’s worth of pain.
Joe Eason’s new play with music sets an unflinching gaze on cycles of poverty, addiction, and homophobia in rural communities.

‘Two Come Home’ enjoyed critical acclaim and award recognition for its 2024 Fringe tour, winning 'Best LGBTQ+ Show' at Colchester Fringe, and being an Offies finalist for the OffFest award.

REVIEWS

“At a time when the voices of Queer individuals from rural, working-class backgrounds are too often unheard, Two Come Home brings them centre stage, capturing the courage it takes to reach for connection against the odds. With its haunting live score, complex characters, and unflinching look at the scars left by prejudice and solitude, this play is a bold reminder of why Queer stories matter. This isn’t just a play – it’s a reckoning, a testament to resilience, and a call for empathy. A truly unmissable play – this is outstanding, unforgettable theatre.”
- SQUIRRP ★★★★★

“As Philip Larkin famously wrote, ‘they fuck you up, your mum and dad’. Besides the gay love story, there’s an important second narrative here about the failure of familial love. Come what may, raw emotion is never far from the surface in this attention grabbing show. There’s plenty of that strength of feeling in the furiously frustrated language the characters exchange, and there’s wit and poetry too.”
- THE SPY IN THE STALLS ★★★★★

“The audience are so invested in the story and the characters, that when the 90 minutes is up, it still leaves you wanting more from this passionately written, poignantly performed production.”
- RATED REVIEWED ★★★★★
