In their Dublin local, two old friends meet regularly for good conversation, good craic and more than a few good pints. Blisteringly funny, but packing an emotional punch, Two Pints explores the friendship of two men, as they attempt to support each other through life's triumphs and tragedies, one pint at a time. Incredibly witty and wonderfully poignant, this sharp observational comedy is written by award-winning Irish author Roddy Doyle (The Commitments, the Booker Prize winning Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha) and directed by rising Irish star Sara Joyce (The Last Return, Fringe First).
