Constellations by Nick Payne: a romance wrapped in a science blanket

Lovers often say fate brought them together, and fate doesn’t get much credit after that. But in Constellations, by young British playwright Nick Payne, every moment Roland and Marianne share is at the mercy of the infinite and unknowable universe.

A beekeeper and a quantum physicist – the odds of them getting together are astronomical. But when their worlds do collide, they keep on colliding, as all the possibilities of their life together – good, bad and ugly – flicker across the stage in a series of intricately-structured snapshots, from first date to farewell.

Sold-out seasons in New York and London – now it’s Queensland’s turn to be delighted and moved by this quirky and charming romance, starring Jessica Tovey (Home and Away, Wonderland) and Lucas Stibbard (Boy Girl Wall, Straight White Men).

Book your tickets for 9 March – 09 April season at the Bille Brown Studio, Queensland Theatre.
