Director

Based on Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux’s fearless masterpiece, five actors create an unapologetic portrait of a woman shaped by her rapidly-changing world.

“Memory never stops. It pairs the dead with the living, real with imaginary beings, dreams with history.”

She strikes a pose and the camera shutter clicks: A child playing in the debris of the Second World War. Click. A student discovering parties and men’s bodies. Click. An activist fighting for the right to choose. Click. A wife picking out a velvet sofa. Click. A mother taking her eldest to judo. Click. A lover seducing a younger man. Click. A grandmother presenting her granddaughter to the camera. Click.

The Years: West End

Harold Pinter Theatre

In 2020, Norwegian director Eline Arbo created a stage and musical adaptation of Édouard Louis's celebrated novel, earning widespread critical and public acclaim. Since then, the show has continued to garner acclaim across Europe, and in 2023, Arbo became the new artistic director of the prestigious International Theatre Amsterdam. A story of growth and self-assertion against an intolerant, petty, and phobic world, a powerful cast of four incredible performers (Dim Koning, Minne Koole, Jesse Mensah, and Felix Schellekens), and a compelling stage score make The End of Eddy, now in its Italian premiere, a show destined to remain etched in audiences' memories.
