About the play: “A nostalgic A Level graduation party becomes a night of revelations, heartbreak, and self-discovery in New Beginnings. Eight friends, each grappling with insecurities, relationships, and dreams for the future, gather for one final summer celebration. What starts as a carefree evening spirals into emotional confrontations and life-altering decisions. Romance crumble under the weight of unspoken truths, new relationships are forged, and others struggle to find self-worth while facing their insecurities. As tensions rise, bonds are tested, secrets are exposed, and friendships are reshaped. Blending poignant drama with moments of humour, New Beginnings explores themes of identity, love, and the bittersweet transition into adulthood. This heartfelt and relatable coming-of-age story reminds us that the end of one chapter is often just the beginning of another.”
