Two Come Home

The homegrown cult play with music returns to Colchester for one night only at the Lakeside Theatre!

It’s winter in a small, isolated town in the Appalachian mountains. Ex-con and recovered addict Evan lives a simple and solitary existence until some old ghosts return to unbury a decade’s worth of pain.

Direct from an acclaimed off-west end run at The Cockpit Theatre, having received 5-star reviews and a whopping seven Fringe Theatre Award nominations, Two Come Home is an unflinching tale of poverty, addiction, and homophobia. A unique combination of true crime, romance, and family drama all set to a haunting live soundtrack.
