Two River’s 2 New Leaders: A Sort of Homecoming

AMERICAN THEATRE: Two River Theater in Red Bank, N.J., gets its name from the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers on either side of the peninsula it sits on, and apparently the organization likes to do things in twos: It was the site of a major 2012 revival of Topdog/Underdog, starring actual brothers Brandon and Justin Dirden and directed by Suzan-Lori Parks herself; it has produced two Joe Iconis musicals; and the last two shows of the theatre’s current season feature a famous couple (Romeo and Juliet, in an adaptation by Hansol Jung) and the other, Nilo Cruz’s Two Sisters and a Piano.
