Booking to 14 March 2018
Beginning at the Ambassadors Theatre
Following a sell-out run at the National Theatre, the acclaimed five star production of Beginning transfers to the West End from 15 January 2018.
Justine Mitchell and Sam Troughton reprise their critically acclaimed roles as Laura and Danny, in this season’s must-see smash-hit; a tender and funny story about the first fragile moments of risking your heart and taking a chance.
Polly Findlay directs this new play by David Eldridge (Market Boy, Under the Blue Sky, In Basildon).
The Evening Standard calls David Eldridge’s masterful new play ‘the (anti) romance for 21st century London, and quite simply, magnificent.’
Beginning runs from 15 January 2018 until 24 March 2018 at The Ambassadors Theatre, London.
What’s the Story?
Every story starts somewhere. It’s the early hours of the morning and Danny’s the last straggler at Laura’s party. The flat’s in a mess. And so are they. One more drink?
