1 Male 1 Female
Elodie is 17
She's French
She washes her legs before going to church
She believes in God
Otto is 15
He's a German soldier
With bulletproof skin
And eyes that could pierce tanks

It's 1944
Outside, the world around them is exploding
Inside, the room shakes
As Elodie and Otto's naked bodies touch
REVIEWS
"There's a thing that happens right at the end of [this] astonishing new play that moves it from "one of the best things I've seen this year" to "one of the best things, full stop" ... if I did stars it would get at least five" ~ Andrew Haydon
★★★★★ A teenage Nazi soldier and a French girl secretly meet on the eve of the American army's triumphant arrival, spending one last night together before their worlds are turned upside down ... This Beautiful Future mines this compellingly weighted scenario for all it's worth ... nothing is straightforward ... An extraordinary work" ~ The Stage
"... an exquisite, beautiful piece performed with such truth, delicacy and daring. Blown away" ~ Juliet Stevenson
