Synopsis
"Let's go for a drink. I don't know what I'm doing here anyway. One drink. And if you never want to see me again you never have to see me again." One relationship. Infinite possibilities. Quantum multiverse theory, love and honey. An explosive new play about free will and friendship.
Constellations is a romantic comedy centring on the relationship between a bee-keeper and cosmology academic, played by Rafe Spall and Sally Hawkins.
Directed by Michael Longhurst, it’s billed as an “extraordinary play about friendship and love seen through shards of infinite possibility stars”.
