Martina Cole is one of the UK’s most popular novelists, selling over 8 million copies and topping The Sunday Times bestseller list. Her books are renowned for their gritty and realistic portrayal of East London’s underworld. Now, for the first time ever, one of her best-selling novels is brought to the stage.

Two Women is an explosive thriller of betrayal, heartbreak, justice and redemption.
