An accomplished two-hander from some fresh talent that reveals the ugly intricacies within a brother-sister relationship
Sibling rivalry is the baseline of this one-act play for two that had its first performances at Camden Fringe this season. The intriguing title, 2.36, does not refer to its length or ratings. It alludes to the UK’s average family size. After all, as the synopsis states, “families never add up cleanly”.
This is a tightly written tale of two half-siblings, Josh and Keira Carrington, bright and vocal students, who are on a quest to research their family history. Their forebears were a wealthy family that purports to have roots in Luxembourg, where their parents now live, so they’re off to join them for the holidays.
