National Theatre’s Beginning Recieves West End Transfer
Following a critically acclaimed, sold-out season at the National Theatre, David Eldridge’s anti-romance Beginning will transfer to the Ambassadors Theatre
REVIEW: Beginning, National Theatre ✭✭✭✭
At times very funny, Beginning also has moments of heart-breaking intensity but without becoming sentimental. It is a masterful two-hander that will especially resonate with anyone who finds themselves single as they face middle age.

I doubt anyone could hope for a finer, more delicate production of this great play. It is genuinely funny in parts, full of melodramatic touches which are not silly but insightful, and incredibly moving when the final scenes play out. Davies is at the top of his game here- this is a symphony of theatrical pleasure. It should transfer to the West End and play and play. Producers should not be fearful of a good old-fashioned triumph.
