Part 1: The Beginning/Part 2: The Middle/Part 3: The End - T2119752349

Part 1: The Beginning - Taking love at first sight as its theme, via A Midsummer Night's Dream and the love affair of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg (the duo behind the 70s classic song Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus), The Beginning presents a man and a woman on the verge of something extraordinary. Part 2: The Middle - In a theatre foyer, a man talks about Hamlet, his past...and being in a theatre foyer. Created on-site at Curve this year, this new short piece explores the connection between a father and his son. Part 3: The End - Inspired by the stage direction from The Winter's Tale, 'Exit pursued by a bear', The End introduces us to two actors: one on the cusp of retirement, the other making his first performance. An exploration of endings and exits, the play asks why we perform and how we will know when to stop.
