CONSTELLATIONS
By Nick Payne
One relationship. Infinite possibilities. In the beginning Marianne and Roland meet at a party. They go for a drink, or perhaps they don’t. They fall madly in love and start dating, but eventually they break up. After a chance encounter in a supermarket they get back together, or maybe they run into each other and Marianne reveals that she’s now engaged to someone else and that’s that. Or perhaps Roland is engaged. Maybe they get married, or maybe their time together will be tragically short. Nick Payne’s Constellations is a play about free will and friendship; it’s also about quantum multiverse theory, love, and honey.

“I wanted to see it twice. I needed to see it twice…Katherine Catmull wrote yesterday that Constellations ‘just went straight into my heart like a sweet pointy dart last night…Playwright Payne and director Liz Fisher open up Marianne and Roland to one another, and as a result they expose our hearts as well.”
— Michael Meigs, Central Texas Live Theatre
“Director, Liz Fisher has wisely staged this piece as the intimate work imagined by the playwright…every moment of the 80-minute production is an engrossing accomplishment. Constellations is an exhilarating gift for the mind and senses…a master class in not only acting and directing, but producing a well-rounded piece of theatre that deserves every ounce of praise it is likely to receive. This brief but touching story should be added to every theatre lover’s must-see list.”
