EVERY LOVE STORY HAS A FINAL CHAPTER Alfie and Julie's love story has been one of music, laughter, and heartache. On one early morning in June, they must write their ending. Following the critically acclaimed _Beginning_ and _Middle_, _End_ is the final play in David Eldridge's trilogy exploring love and relationships. This edition was published to coincide with the National Theatre production in November 2025, directed by Rachel O'Riordan (_Romeo and Julie_) and starring Clive Owen (_Closer_) as Alfie and Saskia Reeves (_Slow Horses_) as Julie in this touching and funny play on a life well lived.
