Two People.
One Couple. Infinite Possibilities. Constellations by Nick Payne Directed by Isaac Downey Featuring Cailtin Cabrie and Tommy James Green 
|
CONSTELLATIONS Winner of the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Play, this spellbinding, romantic journey begins with a simple encounter between a man and a woman. But what happens next defies the boundaries of the world we think we know—delving into the infinite possibilities of their relationship and raising questions about the difference between choice and destiny. String theory, parallel universes and Sliding Doors moments set the scene for one of the most exciting new love stories of our generation. Winner of the 2012 Harold Pinter Award, Nick Payne is among a handful of truly ground-breaking young playwrights in the English-speaking world. In Constellations he has crafted a work that catapults theatre into the future. Roland knows a lot about honey. Marianne knows a lot about physics. With little in common, the probability of them meeting, let alone getting along, is slim to none. Yet in a single moment the possibilities are infinite, inexplicable and ultimately miraculous. Witty, fascinating and heartbreaking – this astonishing production has critics sprinkling superlatives like stardust. “Who knew that higher physics could be so sexy, so accessible—and so emotionally devastating? CONSTELLATIONS, Nick Payne’s gorgeous two-character drama…may be the most sophisticated date play Broadway has seen.” —New York Times. “Nick Payne’s smart, slushy and pretty superb CONSTELLATIONS [is] about the progress of any ordinary life, which begins with seemingly endless possibilities and then dwindles until death forecloses further choice. I wasn’t alone in sniffling into my Playbill.” — The Guardian. “Constellations is an intriguing collection of conundrums scientific, existential and emotional. It is powerful and innovative and it would be a shame to let your multiverse doppelganger be the one who chooses to go and see it instead of you.” - Concrete Playground Performances: Friday 19 August 7.30pm Saturday 20 August 7.30pm Sunday 21 August 7.30pm Friday 26 August7.30pm Sunday 27 August 7.30pm Sunday 28 August 2.00pm The Performance Space @ St Aidan’s 1 Christina Street, Longueville Bookings essential Discounts available for groups 10+ By arrangement with ORIGIN Theatrical on Behalf of Samuel French A Concord Theatricals Company IN A NUTSHELL

HERCULES: THE PANTO
Written by Sarah Jamari Edwards He’s strong. He’s mighty. He’s a hero. He’s all singing, all dancing, and he’s here in Lane Cove! Bestowed with superhuman strength, a young mortal named Hercules sets out to prove himself a hero in the eyes of his father, the great god Zeus. Hercules is tricked by the hotheaded villian, Hades, who is secretly plotting to take over Mount Olympus. Hercules must choose between his legendary strength and his true love. Only by learning valuable lesson, that its not the size of your strength that counts but the strength of your heart, will Hercules save Mount Olympus and be proclaimed a hero? Let our players transport you to Athens, to the theatre of Dionysus, in a pantomime that promises to have you clutching your stomach, rolled over in balls of laughter, tapping your toes along to a catchy catalogue of multigenerational hits, and dancing away in your seats. A classic tale with a healthy dose of twists and turns, this story is unlike any version of Hercules that you have ever seen or heard before. Will Hercules find his true love? Will Medusa run a successful hair styling business? Will the Kings daughter marry a pop star? Confused? Come along and see HERCULES, The Panto, and all will be revealed! 11-27 November 2022 https://www.trybooking.com/BURZU |
