Every story starts somewhere. 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?

From the 15th January, Polly Findlay’s production of David Eldridge’s play will transfer to the West End for a strictly limited season from January 2018.

This transfer will see Justine Mitchell (Bodies, Royal Court; Mr Burns, Almeida Theatre) and Sam Troughton (King Lear, National Theatre; The Hollow Crown, BBC; and The Ritual) reprising their roles as Laura and Danny.

Having received its world premiere on the 12th October at the National Theatre’s Dorfman Theatre, Beginning was acclaimed by critics and audiences alike.

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

Beginning will play at the Ambassadors Theatre from the 15th January 2018. Tickets will go on sale to the public on Monday 20 November at 10am, with a priority booking period for NT members from Friday 10 November.
