Saw this by @deldridgewriter.bsky.social tonight. It was glorious and I feel emotionally wrung out. A wonderful end to the trilogy. Grab a ticket if you can.

Anyway, this “spoilt and entitled horrible little ignoramus” just saw End at the National and loved it! Such rich but understated performances. Not seen anyone crumple their face like Clive Owen. The hour and a half flew by; I almost didn’t want it to end

Last night Stuart and I went to see End at Dorfman Theatre in London’s glitzy South Bank.
Conflict of interest as I know writer David Eldridge but this trilogy finale is superb. Clive Owen and Saskia Reeves are stunning.

'All good things must come to an end. Or, in this case, End, as David Eldridge concludes his poignant and perceptive trilogy tracing the course of a relationship'. There's beautiful work from Clive Owen and Saskia Reeves in End @NationalTheatre. My review:
Clive Owen and Saskia Reeves are devastating in this beautiful show
David Eldridge brings his perceptive trilogy, which traces the course of a relationship, to a poignant End
