“A play that leaves you caring deeply about its characters and which adds unusual poignancy to the dating game.”
Michael Billington, The Guardian
Every story starts somewhere…
It’s the early hours of the morning and Danny is the last straggler at Laura’s party. The flat’s in a mess…..and so are they. Maybe time for one more drink?
‘You didn’t fancy it then?’
‘Fancy what?’
‘Getting in the taxi.’
‘No.’
David Eldridge’s play Beginning is the first of a trilogy of plays (alongside Middle and End) looking at love and relationships.
A sharp and astute two-hander that takes an intimate look at the first fragile moments of risking your heart and taking a chance. It movingly reminds us that even in the age of social media and internet dating sites, forging a connection with other people remains as problematic as ever
Beginning was first staged at the National Theatre, London, in the Dorfman auditorium, in October 2017. It transferred to the Ambassadors Theatre in the West End in January 2018. David Eldridge is widely regarded as one of the prominent playwriting voices of his generation, whose productions have premiered across the UK.
A non-professional production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books. Content contains adult themes with occasional strong language.
