Content warning [May contain spoilers]
It’s after midnight and 38-year-old Laura’s housewarming party has just finished. One guest remains, however: Danny, a 42 year old divorcee who lives with his mother. Danny should have been in the taxi that just left, as he has no ‘radar’ and had failed to pick up any signals that Laura may be interested in him. Will Laura convince him this could be the start of something, and persuade him to stay? Or will Danny leave, without ever taking that leap of faith? Both comedic and tender, Beginning asks questions about mutual loneliness and human connections in the era of the dating app.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
