LOVE blossoms in Beginnings at Leamington’s Lot Theatre.
David Eldridge’s play is the first of a trilogy of plays – alongside Middle and End – looking at love and relationships.
It reminds that even in the age of social media and internet dating sites, forging a connection with other people remains as problematic as ever.
Directed by Viki Betts, Beginning unfolds in the quiet aftermath of a house-warming party. Laura and Danny, two strangers, find themselves alone in a flat littered with empty bottles and emotional baggage. What begins as small talk soon deepens into a heartfelt exchange, as both characters navigate vulnerability, loneliness, and the fragile hope of something more.
Viki says of the play: “From the moment I picked up David Eldridge’s script, I was fascinated by it. Beginning is an incredibly natural piece, and the play unfolds within the same timeframe as the audience watches. This makes for a very intimate and intense experience. It is funny and relatable and, at many points, incredibly awkward.”
The production runs from September 24 to October 4.
