First Look: Beginning at The National Theatre

First Look Beginning

First Look Beginning

Beginning is at The National Theatre continuing in the repertoire until 14th November.

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? Polly Findlay directs this new play by David Eldridge (Market Boy, Under the Blue Sky, In Basildon). Tender and funny, it’s an intimate look at the first fragile moments of risking your heart and taking a chance. Justine Mitchell plays Laura, Sam Troughton plays Danny.

Design by Fly Davis, lighting design by Jack Knowles, sound design by Paul Arditti and movement by Naomi Said.
