“One drink. And if you never want to see me again you never have to see me again.”
A quantum physicist and a beekeeper meet at a barbecue. They hit it off — or perhaps they don’t. They fall in love — or maybe they walk away. In a universe where every choice creates infinite possibilities, their story unfolds in countless ways.
First performed at the Royal Court Theatre in 2012 before transferring to the West End and Broadway, Constellations won the Evening Standard Award for Best Play and has since captivated audiences worldwide.
Nick Payne’s remarkable play is a celestial dance of love, chance, and possibility. With wit, tenderness, and moments of heartbreak, it explores how tiny decisions can shape the course of our lives. Science and emotion entwine to create a mesmerising journey that is as moving as it is thought-provoking.
