INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY DRAMA

You didn’t fancy it then? 

Fancy what?

Getting in the taxi?

No.

The last two people at a house-warming party. Two hearts on the shelf. Are they brave enough to fall?

Beginning is a tender and funny play about the first fragile moments of risking your heart and taking a chance on someone new. Described as an ‘(anti) romance for [the] 21st century’ (Evening Standard), David Eldridge’s Beginning is an insightful and touching look at the challenges of connecting and sharing in the era of social media and online dating.

As part of the Gate’s Spring Season of international new work, centred on the theme of Love and Courage, Beginning is presented SIDE by SIDE with The Children by Lucy Kirkwood.
