Two Times
Two is Two
Written and Directed by
Ruwanthie de Chickera
Short Listed for the “World Student Drama Trust Award” for the 22nd International Student Playscript Competition, London, 1998, Two Times Two is Two is an ‘absurd’ play which examines the workings of the subconscious.
From its humble beginnings – an unknown cast and an untested director, Two times Two is Two rose almost instantaneously to be one of the most enjoyed performance pieces in English Theatre in Sri Lanka.

What if we were stripped of the ability to conceal out thoughts? If we were denied the privilege of tempering, toning down, censoring or even recasting our feelings before making them public? Would the consequences be funny? Tragic? Ridiculous? Or perfect material for a play?
Inspired by an experimental artistic concept, this funny and touching drama on the theme of missed opportunities and the difficulty to communicate, brilliantly depicts its simple plot with a twist. It brings on to stage, the dramatic world in which the boundaries between mind and body no longer exist.
