" Do you know why it's impossible to lick the tips of your elbows?"
Scientist Marianne meets beekeeper Roland at a party. They hit it off and go out for a drink, or maybe they don’t. Maybe they fall madly in love & get married. Or maybe they end up engaged to other people. Maybe they live happily ever after, or maybe they end up as total strangers.
What's 'Constellations' all about? Director Peter Moore explains: “Basically, 'Constellations' is just a love story. It has a happy ending – and a sad one – and, perhaps several others in between.”
“Have you ever wondered how different your life might have been if chance or fate had changed some small circumstance or detail in what happened to you? Has your happiness or misery turned on a simple twist of fate? We can't know, of course, but imagine, if in some other dimension, there's another you having the life you so narrowly missed?”
Nick Payne's award-winning two-hander is a fresh, fast-paced play that toys with the notion of multiple universe theory. All sounds very complicated? “Not at all.” Says Peter. “It's just two actors, two cubes they move around, some very pretty lights and some weird music. Oh, and it's brilliantly written and very funny – except for the sad bits, of course. You really should buy a ticket and see it for yourself.”
Neil Timothy, who plays beekeeper Roland, says “We had such an amazing reaction to the production during Fringe TheatreFest last year. The characters are incredibly relatable, it's a simple boy-meets-girl story, but told in a non-traditional way.” Deborah Hadley who plays cosmologist Marianne says “I love the science behind the story; the concept that suggests that there could be other universes besides our own, where all the choices you made in this life are played out in alternate realities. It's fascinating.”
"intense, thought-provoking & very moving"
"stunning, I actually couldn't speak by the end!"
"brilliantly played, fantastic direction"
"a visual treat"
