2's Company is returning to Harrogate for its fifth year! A theatre company known for its small, intimate and personal theatre adventures.  They previously performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and from 24th-30th May 2015 the company will present their productions to a few unique venues across the town centre.

At Hales Bar, in the town centre, Early Doors (presented by Presented by Not Too Tame will be shown in a pub to an audience alongside pub regulars.  It's about a brother and sister who opens their family pub after inheriting it from their mother who sadly passed away.

Personal and interactive Somebody I Used To Know explores how technology connects with another in extraordinary circumstances and is performed to a one person audience.

There is an invitation to join two strangers on a journey in The Fixer, created by Brad McCormick.  This takes place in a moving vehicle, Renault Clio, which will travel round Harrogate.  Certainly immersive, a test of self and others, and fast paced!

Live and imaginative Room is a 25 minute performance which involves a blindfolded and seated member audience.

Certainly a unique theatrical experience - very different from being at a conventional theatre! Limited tickets for the productions will no doubt sell fast so best get them sooner than later via Harrogate Theatres or call their box office.  Further information about the productions including dates, times and venues can be found on the theatre's website.

Guardian's Lyn Gardiner says 'it's perfectly formed festival of small'  and offers up and close theatrical experiences to the performers and performances.
