STARS ALL ROUND IN THIS SELL- OUT PLAY

Since its first production in January 2012 at the Royal Court as part of the Royal Court's Jerwood New Playwrights Programme, Consellations' acclaim has sky-rocketed. Two of Britain's most exciting stars, Sally Hawkins (Jayne Eyre, Made in Dagenham and Golden Globe winner for Best Actress in Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky) and Rafe Spall (Donmar's One Day When We Were Young, Channel 4's Pete Versus Life and Ridley Scott's Prometheus), breathe life into a drama that does not simply discuss quantum multiverse theory but dives into it. Nick Payne's award-winning play was described by Charles Spencer of The Telegraph (January 2012) as "a work that can stand comparison with Tom Stoppard, Michael Frayn and Caryl Churchill at their best".

WHAT IS CONSTELLATIONS ABOUT?

Roland is an easy going, loveable beekeeper; Marianne a warm and witty physicist who works in a university in the field of quantum cosmology. They meet at a barbeque. But do not be deceived by what might appear like a delightful boy-meets-girl romantic comedy. This is no simple storyline, but a shatteringly beautiful plunge into a myriad multiverse. An exquisitely crafted play, Constellations questions chance and the initially exponential but rapidly narrowing possibilities of love, friendship and freewill.
