End is coming to NTAH but the other two won’t be as they weren’t filmed for NT Live or NTAH.

You’ll have to pray there’s a trilogy revival if you want to see all 3 together.

A bittersweet day when End ends and so does a decade long collaboration with @nationaltheatre

What a pleasure and privilege it’s been to make this work.

6 shows left… No plans at all at present for a transfer… Who knows if an English management will ever produce the trilogy… So folks don’t assume you’ll get another chance to see the show… Sometimes End means end… #end #ntend @nationaltheatre.org.uk until 17 January πŸ“· Marc Brenner

End by David Eldridge at the NT. Go and see it if you can. Moving and funny. Great performances from Saskia Reeves and Clive Owen.

Caught up with #thespywhocameinfromthecold at Soho Place and our wonderful company. I really relished it. To get close to the genius of John le CarrΓ©, his sense of story, of drama, of style, his quirks as a writer, his obsessions, his wit is a great privilege. Come see us πŸ‘€πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ₯ΆπŸ™πŸ»

We are all le CarrΓ©'s people now Look into his wilderness of mirrors and see our own world reflected all around

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is *the* Cold War novel. I read it as a kid and it knocked me sideways.

But that was long ago. With a stage version in the West End and a TV version pending, what does it mean now? Thoughts for @newstatesman1913.bsky.social

Knocked out by David Eldridge's End at the Dorfman Theatre. We went in knowing nothing about it and realised we were basically watching a play about ourselves and people we know: the music, the memories, the locations. For people of a certain generation who would like to cry during You Got the Love.

This just arrived. Very proud to have been asked to write an introduction to @deldridgewriter.bsky.social's beautiful trilogy. A great challenge having to wrestle my turbulent love for these plays into written form.
