Constellations by Nick Payne

After the success of their “compelling, cogent and captivating” (LondonTheatre1 ) production of Miss Julie at last year’s Wanstead Fringe, East London Theatre Company returns with Constellations by Nick Payne, a beautifully inventive play that blends romance, science and philosophy in a tender, funny and moving exploration of love and possibility.

When a chance meeting brings Marianne, a physicist, and Roland, a beekeeper, together, their relationship unfolds across multiple parallel universes. Every decision they make, or don’t make, leads to a different outcome. The result is playful, poignant and often sharply funny, offering a celebration of the infinite possibilities of human connection.

First staged at the Royal Court Theatre and revived to critical acclaim in the West End in 2021, Constellations has been hailed as one of the most original and affecting dramas of the last decade. East London Theatre Company brings this modern classic to life in a fresh, intimate production, staged in-the-round to draw audiences into the heart of the story.
