Casting has been announced for a new production of Nick Payne’s Evening Standard Award-winning Constellations at Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre this autumn.
Carla Harrison-Hodge and Emilio Iannucci will be directed by Paul Robinson in Payne’s romantic drama, which won the Best New Play award at the 2012 Evening Standard Awards, making Payne the youngest ever winner of the award. It was also nominated for several Olivier Awards, including for SJT Associate Artist Simon Slater’s music score, which will be used in the SJT production.
When beekeeper Roland meets scientist Marianne, anything could happen. Nick Payne’s dazzling play is romantic and revealing, exploring the many possibilities that can result from a single meeting in a way that will remind you of the movie Sliding Doors and Kate Atkinson’s novel Life After Life. Constellations will leave you wondering: what if?
Director Paul Robinson says: “Constellations plays with time and space in the most brilliant way – deeply human, deeply moving, it’s a play that genuinely tilts the world for you. I challenge anyone not to leave the theatre just a bit more aware of what a fragile and remarkable thing life is…”
The SJT production of Constellations is designed by TK Hay, with lighting design by Jane Lalljee.
It can be seen in the Round at the SJT on from Friday 28 October to Saturday 12 November 2022.
Tickets, priced from £10, are available from the box office on 01723 370541 and online at www.sjt.uk.com
