Review: BEGINNING at the Ambassadors Theatre
By Phil Willmott Friday, January 26 2018, 11:23
The dance show STOMP has been playing at the Ambassadors Theatre for so long that I haven't been there for years and I had to remind myself where it was. STOMP has now left the building making room for a transfer of this exquisite play by David Eldridge.
It's one of those plays where nothing much apparently happens whitest at the same time it manages to explore some of the big themes that touch all our lives at one time or another.

I know the piece really well having directed it myself and I was amazed at how Sher had made such absolute sense of it that many of the scenes in this production were a revelation.
