			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Gleaner review of Trevor Rhone&#8217;s &#8220;Two Can Play&#8221; by Keiran King</strong> &#8220;<em>&#8230; if you see five Jamaican plays in your short, embattled life, one of them has to be Trevor Rhone&#8217;s Two Can Play. The script, which won Best Original Play on its 1982 debut, tells its story with such thunderous honesty that neither the passage of time nor Brian Heap&#8217;s mediocre restaging can diminish its impact. Conceptually, Two Can Play exists at a busy four-way intersection &#8211; the gridlocked point of contact between male and female gender roles, and the national identities of Jamaica and America,</em>&#8221; &#8230; <a href="http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20091020/ent/ent1.html" target="_blank">more</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The University Players&#8217; will pay tribute to the late Trevor Rhone by staging his award-winning comedy &#8220;Two Can Play&#8221; for just six performances &#8211; beginning Saturday, October 17 and continuing through to Monday, October 26. The venue will be the Philip Sherlock Centre for the Creative Arts at the University of the West Indies, Mona, Kingston.</p>
<p>The performance of the play that&#8217;s scheduled for Sunday, October 18, will benefit the McSyl Basic School located at Bellas Gate, Rhone&#8217;s birthplace. Notably, shortly before his death, Rhone had committed his support to the school.</p>
<p>&#8220;Two Can Play&#8221;, which won the award for Best Jamaican Play in 1982, will feature performances by 2008 Actor Boy Award nominees Alwyn Scott and Nadean Rawlins. It&#8217;s directed by Brian Heap, who win this year&#8217;s Actor Boy Award for &#8216;Best Director&#8217;.</p>
<p>In &#8220;Two Can Play&#8221;, Scott and Rawlins play &#8216;Jim&#8217; &amp; &#8216;Gloria&#8217;, a Jamaican couple who try their wildest schemes to escape gun crime in Kingston during the 1970s, and establish residence in the United States.</p>
<p>In the original foreword to the play, Jamaica&#8217;s late former prime minister, Michael Manley wrote: &#8220;<em>Two Can Play is about love, and estrangement; about domination and liberation; about confusion and compassion. It is about two human beings who nearly lose one another &#8211; but who eventually struggle back together through uncertainty, through quarrels, through humiliation. Ultimately, Gloria and Jim survive because they learn to communicate, and finally, to re-discover one another &#8211; not so much as they were, but as what they each can try to become.</em>&#8220;</p>
