Last night Stuart and I went to see End at Dorfman Theatre in London’s glitzy South Bank.
You might remember how much I loved Beginning and Middle so it was only right that Stuart and I returned to see the final part of the trilogy by David Eldridge.
I must declare a conflict of interest right away as I know David but frankly I would say this even if I had never met him. This play is excellent.
The plot is simple yet devastating as we watch Alfie who has terminal cancer and his wife Julie navigating the impossible reality of their final days together. The whole thing plays out in real time in their kitchen.
Clive Owen is absolutely magnetic as Alfie clinging to his past glory as a DJ and Saskia Reeves is heartbreakingly good as the steadfast Julie.
It is a raw and honest look at mortality that somehow manages to be funny too. I left in bits.
Go and see it at @nationaltheatre before it closes.
