The Ink Factory and Second Half Productions have released production images from the West End premiere of John le Carré’s The Spy Who Came in From the Cold.

With End, David Eldridge completes his triptych of modern relationships. Beginning saw  Bleary-eyed flirtation in the early hours, to the introspection of mid-life melancholy in Middle. Now the final chapter. In that sense, End feels destined to sag with sentimentality, and despite admirable moments, it does exactly that.  

The National Theatre has released first look photos of Clive Owen (Closer) and Saskia Reeves (Slow Horses) in the world premiere of End. Playwright David Eldridge returns to the National Theatre with the final play in his trilogy exploring love and relationships.

My advice would be to don’t stop working on that thing. Whatever that writing project is. Feel free to become frustrated and put it away for a few weeks but keep it ticking away. I believe it’s immeasurably important for emerging writers - it is these spaces that shape the play, where mistakes can happen and solutions be found, without the pressure of a deadline or a looming opening night or financial stress. (On that note, we open 31 October at The Hampstead Theatre, please come?!)
