Tim Crouch directs his new play Beginners, a work that inspires us to examine our relationship to growing up, living and grieving in this exquisite and joyful portrait of being a child in a complicated world.
Three families trapped in a waterlogged holiday cottage in Cornwall over summer. The children are bored. The adults are down the pub. It’s like this every year.
Seen through the lens of a family holiday, Beginners is a dazzlingly original work, where childhood and adulthood collide in a funny and vivid exploration of the redemptive power of art in the face of loss.
With his trademark flair for artful invention, Crouch illuminates the human experience in a theatrically ambitious and extraordinary story. At once comic and touching, this is a play powered by imagination, reality and realism.
It reminds us that the children we once were stay with us wherever we go.
