Anthony Brophy and Sean Kearns will take to the stage of the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry in the UK première of Roddy Doyle’s Two Pints.
Brophy appeared in David Horan’s Sandpaper on Sunburn at Dublin’s Smock Alley in 2024, Blackbird by David Harrower with Four Rivers Theatre Co in 2021 and Stuart Carolan’s Defender of the Faith for Decadent Theatre in 2014.
Kearns’s credits include Agreement by Owen McCafferty at the Gate Theatre, Dublin in 2024. In the same year, he played Oberon in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Lyric, Belfast.
The play is set in a Dublin pub where two old friends meet regularly for good conversation, good craic and more than a few good pints. As the Guinness flows, these barstool philosophers put the world to rights by sharing their honest and often hilarious thoughts on life’s big topics.
Director Sara Joyce said, “I’m so excited to be a part of bringing this moving and funny play by one of Ireland’s greatest writers to the Belgrade. The company is fantastic and it feels like just the tonic for today. It’s a joy to be making work like this.”
Two Pints will run at the Belgrade from Friday 2 until Saturday 24 May. Press night will be Wednesday 7 May.
