Two Graves

by Paul Sellar

Bobby Tops is riding on the crest of a wave, poised to take the crown at the 1978 World Professional Darts Championship. Only now he's dead. His son Jack seeks his revenge on those he believes are responsible for his father's downfall - and we're with him every step of the way as life turns him from adoring son to hard-bitten criminal.

Written by Paul Sellar and performed by Jonathan Moore, Two Graves is a challenging piece of contemporary verse which explores the terrifying dangers of violence and revenge.
Two Graves premiered at the Pleasance Theatre, Edinburgh in August 2006, and transferred to the Arts Theatre in London's West End in November 2006.

"Verse makes a strong comeback with this ingenious offering. It's a work of rare skill and intense artistry."
