Another Begin/End review


Begin/End has received another review from Lyn Gardner at the Guardian.

"David Lane's two-hander maps the girls' relationship with intensity, in ­writing that is flecked with everyday poetry" The Guardian

If you missed it in Saturday's Guardian then have a look here:

Meanwhile the Begin/End company are preparing to return to London with a busy schedule of performances coming up, across the country. Look out for them coming to a venue near you soon. http://www.halfmoon.org.uk/shows/BeginEnd.htm#schedule

Review by Micah Holmes, Broadway Barking Young Ambassador

Begin/End is a beautiful story about a friendship that grows and blossoms until it changes lives and touches people.

It is the tale of the trials and tribulations friendship can bring, and how to overcome them.

The story is taken from two girls' points of view, and carries a beautiful storyline with it. Lili and Yaz are two lonely girls, trapped in their unfortunate lives. They they find each other and slowly begin to escape their surreal surroundings.

Aimed at audiences 14+, Begin/End is well scripted, excellently portrayed and has a pure, wonderful story. Begin/End is a must see for young actors, older actors and anyone who wants an inspiring thought provoking pieces of theatre.

Begin/End will be shown at The Broadway Barking for one night only - Thursday 11 March.
Be there, or be square!

Begin/End on the road


The tour is on. The van headed off into the sunrise this morning taking Amy, Rachel and Trevor off on the Begin/End national tour: first stop Riverhead Theatre, Louth. They arrived safely and the show is on as I type!

Hopefully the show will be as well received across the rest of England as it has been at Half Moon. If you get a chance to see the show then do and then we are happy to post any reviews onto the blog just drop us an email at
