Beginning: Modern Plays

Autor David Eldridge

You didn't fancy it then?Fancy what?Getting in the taxi.No.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?David Eldridge (Market Boy, The Knot of the Heart, In Basildon) returns to the National Theatre with a sharp and astute two-hander that takes an intimate look at the first fragile moments of risking your heart and taking a chance. This tender and funny play received its world premiere at the National's Dorfman Theatre in October 2017.

Recenzii

David Eldridge "has a wise parent's gift as a playwright. He loves his characters even when he doesn't like them".
Eldridge has always been the most muscular of writers
...Eldridge is timely and bang up to date...
...there's no denying Eldridge's ambition...
Eldridge combines a hugely sympathetic sensibility with rare dramatic power.
[Summer Begins] confirms Eldridge's impressive command of dialogue and character.
Just such a heavenly piece of writing is the latest by David Eldridge
a brave, prodigious and rewarding experience.
Eldridge combines a hugely sympathetic sensibility with rare dramatic power, and one leaves this exceptional play rejoicing in his talent and impatient for his next.
What Eldridge captures well is the way people's emotions and desires are rarely in perfect synch...****
...an astute and tender two-hander.
Though often very funny, the play is strung with emotional trip-wires - lines that send you sprawling.
It's the tentative (anti) romance for 21st century London life and it is, quite simply, magnificent...never less than utterly refreshing...*****
David Eldridge's gorgeous new play is a wry, funny and touching meditation on loneliness, that private shame of the singleton in the era of the dating app and of fraudulent boasting on social media. Written with a real depth of insight, humour, compassion and a keen sense of the ridiculous...*****
