What the critics say about Nick Payne’s Constellations.

“Incredible to witness” ★★★★★ Suzy Goes See
“A spellbinding, non-stop zoom through time and space and romance” ★★★★½ Stage Noise
“Jaw-dropping” ★★★★ The Sydney Morning Herald
“Heart-rendingly beautiful” ★★★★ Time Out

Theoretical physics tangles with a love of nature when an improbable romance evolves between a physicist, Marianne and a beekeeper, Roland.

Their chance encounter and the relationship that follows explores moments of grace and grit and the familiar highs and lows experienced when we connect with another human being.

What would happen if we were given the chance to replay the same conversation over and over again?

Do we have free-will or are we just “particles governed by a series of very particular laws being knocked…around all over the place.”? – Constellations – Nick Payne
