Constellations

The Royal Court scored a huge, West End-transfer hit with ‘Constellations’, Nick Payne’s brilliant drama about a couple’s relationship playing out across an infinite number of multiverses that slowly, tragically converge on a single possible outcome. It’s almost impossible to imagine it without Tom Scutt’s iconic balloon-based set, but the social-distancing era is the perfect moment for a revival. And director Jonathan O’Boyle certainly knows something about directing an iconic two-hander at Southwark Playhouse – he revives ‘Constellations’ as the follow up to his smash ‘The Last Five Year’, which will star Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo and Oliver Johnstone.
