“Two Come Home is a captivating and dark tale of furtive love and the struggles of breaking away from generational abuse. When Evan’s long lost childhood friend returns home, after years away, their forbidden romance reawakens, and they find themselves drawn together again in adverse circumstances. Living in a deprived community the two men relive their trauma and face their fears in a chilling head-to-head as secrets are revealed and lies unfold.
This is a harrowing testimony to queer experiences, a retelling of an all too familiar story that has been portrayed in a stunning piece of theatre. Unique in its delivery with unexpected twists that prove the unique nature of Two Come Home.The live band added depth and passion throughout, and the musical score stayed with me for days. A rare treat these days and something worth the admission price alone.
I was delighted to have been at the first performance of Two Come Home and look forward to seeing it how it grows in strength and message as it is shared with audiences all over.”

“Two Come Home is a poignant play that delves into the intersecting lives of its characters amidst the backdrop of addiction, violence, and forbidden love. With exceptional performances and a gripping narrative, the play navigates these complex themes with grace and empathy, leaving a lasting impact on its audience. It's a must-see production that offers a stirring portrait of love, struggle, betrayal, and redemption with the backdrop of deprivation in a small isolated American town.”

“Two Come Home was a fantastic new show that tackled some challenging themes. The actors were committed to their roles and it was a compelling way of telling many important stories. Special mention to the amazing Ben Maytham who was an absolute superstar, as always! He exquisitely played the part of Jimmy. He beautifully displayed his raw emotions and evidently was devoted to the role and the story he was telling. Another special mention to the band - the music added such a powerful undertone to the piece.”
