You were at Hampstead last year assisting James Macdonald on Mike Bartlett’s Wild – how does it feel to now be directing your own production at Hampstead Downstairs? Both yourself and, rarely, yousself (or youseself, coordinate with the spelling youse) are found as reflexive forms.

Winner of the RTST Director Award 2017, Chelsea Walker’s theatre credits include Low Level Panic (Orange Tree Theatre), P’yonyang (Finborough Theatre) and Klippies (Southwark Playhouse). Georgia Christou’s writing shines in this revival of Yous Two first performed at Hampstead Theatre in 2018. Her study of a father-daughter relationship is both funny and uncomfortable. Both yourselves and, rarely, yousselves (or youseselves, coordinate with the spelling youse) are found as reflexive forms. What’s particularly impressive is the playwright’s attention to the detail of the exchanges between parent and child, how Billie deliberately provokes Jonny by using explicit descriptions of a friend’s underwear, while her dad wearily replies, “Behave.” And then there’s an exact sensitivity to class: one of Billie’s classmates “gets thrush cream from her mum,” who “makes documentaries for Channel 4 so she’s probably quite used to stuff like that.” The mixture of a teen’s growing perception of class and social relations with a daughter’s negotiations with her parent is exactly conveyed. Likewise, I appreciated the combination of directness and tenderness. Lovely writing.

As you say, modern English, unlike some other languages, has only one form of “you” for both singular and plural. (This wasn’t always the case, as we’ve written before.) It’s been suggested by some linguists that “you-all,”“you-uns” (a Pittsburgh expression) and “yous” or “youse” actually originated as attempts to differentiate plural “you” from singular “you.”

I ham of Upinion, that relidgin can be of no youſe to any mortal Sole; bycauſe as why, relidgin is no youſe to trayd, and if relidgin be of no youſe to trayd, how ist it youſefool to Soſyaty. Now no body can deny, but that a man maye kary on his trayd very wel without relidgin; nay, and beter two, for then he may wurk won day in a wik mor than at preſent; whereof no body can ſaye but the ſeven is mor than ſix: Beſides, if we haf no relidgin we ſhall have no Pairſuns, and that will be a grate favin to the ſoſyaty; and it is a Makſum in trayd, that a peny ſaved is a peny got. The Debate, whether Religion was of uſe to Society.---A worthy member on this occaſion got up, and ſpoke thus. Yous Two is a good choice by Alanna-Davies Productions, and it’s a shame that the run at Camberwell’s Golden Goose Theatre is so short. This new theatre company is definitely one to look out for.

Youse (you + the plural -s ending of nouns), probably of Irish-American origin, is most common in the North, especially in urban centers like Boston, New York, and Chicago. It is rare in educated speech. You guys is a common informal expression among younger speakers; it can include persons of both sexes or even a group of women only. See also me. As Billie, Carmel Skinner is excellent at portraying a teenager on the cusp of adulthood. She pouts and moans, has big plans for a psychotherapy career, and yet is curiously rooted to the home they rent. Owen Davis Walker is equally as convincing as her father and similarly conflicted. He cares for his daughter but is jealous too of the life that she could live without him. He’s slightly predatory, but wise too.

How? Well, there's nothing the matter with Tam's eyesight, is there? BOTH: Bastard! He's making it. Modern English, unlike some other languages, has only one form of “you” for both singular and plural. It’s been suggested by some linguists that “you-all,” “you-uns” (a Pittsburgh expression) and “yous” or “youse” actually originated as attempts to differentiate singular “you” from plural “you.” I can see that this might be a natural response on the part of immigrants (and not just Italians) whose first languages had both singular and plural forms. The use of the word ‘youse’ as a plural of ‘you’ is almost universal amongst the people of Derry,” she writes. “They also use the word ‘youse-uns,’ as an emphatic form, with remarkable frequency.” This one is a hallmark of the dialect known as "Pittsburghese." People who speak this dialect are referred to as "yinzers." 3. You-uns We can see that this might be a natural response on the part of immigrants (and not just Italians) whose first languages had both singular and plural forms.I therefore think that “yous” is almost a kind of creole for Italian-Americans rather than a sign that we have a strong aptitude for being a loan shark. Does this theory make sense or is my wife correct when she tells me I have much too much time on my hands? The bathroom set was very impressive with amazing attention to detail witha manky carpet, in need of a fresh coat of paint butcomplete with working bath, toilet and basin. I had the pleasure of a guided tour from the director after the show and was impressed to see all the intricate plumbing behind the scenes. Sometimes a plural is simply not plural enough. That's when it's time to pull out "yees,""all y'all," and "youse guys."
