Description
A poignant exploration of loneliness and human connection, Beginning is a witty and compassionate two-hander that delves into the complexities of risking your heart. Written with remarkable insight and humour, this sharp play takes an intimate look at the fragile moments of vulnerability. As the night wears on after a housewarming party, Danny finds himself alone in his messy flat, surrounded by the remnants of a chaotic evening. With one more drink, he must confront the private shame of being single in a world where social media boasts can be deceiving. This tender and comedic dialogue asks questions about mutual loneliness and the power of human connection. First performed at the National Theatre, London in 2017, Beginning has been re-released with an introduction by Sarah Grochala.
