End
a new play by David Eldridge
Every love story has a final chapter
Alfie and Julie’s love story has been one of music, laughter, and heartache. On one early morning in June, they must write their ending.
Clive Owen (Closer) is Alfie and Saskia Reeves (Slow Horses) is Julie in this touching and funny play on a life well lived.
Following the critically acclaimed Beginning and Middle, End is the final play in David Eldridge’s trilogy exploring love and relationships. Lyric Hammersmith Theatre Artistic Director Rachel O’Riordan (Romeo and Julie) directs.
