At the website of The National Stage the following, among other things, is written about Beginning:
"The party is over, but one of the guests stays. They don't know each other. They are both in their early 40es, and it might be the start of something. But how do they approach one another?
(...)
David stays behind in Laura's flat after the party. During the night they both become visible to the other. Not the way they want to be, but the way they actually are. With a certain hesitation they challenge one another in regards to love and expectations for life. Self-obsession, internet dating and idealism are among the subjects discussed. Dirty glasses are washed. She wants children, whereas the nuclear family is a rather remote idea to him. How do you know that you have met someone worth the effort?"
"Love runs like a red thread through the repertoire. There is budding young love in Korps* (Brass band), and there is the Norwegian premiere of a sensational play about 40-somethings fear of - and longing for - settling. In this existential comedy, Karoline Krüger and Eirik del Barco Soleglad meet in the ring."
