Why See Constellations?

Plays

Back in london for a limited run

Nick Payne's intellectual drama, Constellations is back in London for a limited run, starring Sherlock's Louise Brealey and Joe Armstrong (Happy Valley). The play - which first premiered on the West End back in 2012 before heading to Broadway - is an emotional and thoughtful look at one romance as it might exist across parallel universes, and the impact that chance can have on shaping our entire future.

The action unfolds in one act that lasts just over an hour, with each scene building the several narratives that depict the potential courses their relationship could run, as well as raising some serious questions on the nature of love and trust in a world where so much of what we do and think is derived from language signals that could have multiple meanings. Constellations received immense praise from critics when it last ran in London, and on Broadway, with Ben Brantley of the New York Times asking 'Who knew that higher physics could be so sexy, so accessible - and so emotionally devastating?'

WHAT IS CONSTELLATIONS ABOUT?

Beekeeper Roland meets quantum physicist Marianne at a BBQ where they immediately hit it off. The rest of their relationship, however, doesn't always run as smoothly and this is explored through a chain of scenes which imagine how their lives might be turning out in parallel universes where a different word chosen or decision made has a 'butterfly effect in determining the course of their relationship.
