Constellations
Constellations is a two-hander play by the English playwright Nick Payne. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in early 2012, with Rafe Spall and Sally Hawkins in the lead roles. The play received strong reviews from critics and subsequently transferred to the Duke of York’s Theatre in the West End. In November 2012 Constellations was named the winner of the best play category at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards, making the 29-year-old Payne the youngest winner of the award. Roland meets Marianne at a barbeque. She’s a physicist, he’s a beekeeper. They are an unlikely match, but this is not your average boy-meets-girl love story. Multiverse theory is explored through the infinite possibilities of a single relationship.
