Presented by Theatre on the Square and multiple-award winning South African Theatre Company – How Now Brown Cow - Constellations is a two-hander play by the British playwright Nick Payne. It explores how even the smallest change in our lives can dramatically alter the course we take. It is a spellbinding exploration of love, science, quantum theory, and infinite possibility for heartbreak or for hope.
“One drink. And if you never want to see me again you never have to see me again."
A quantum physicist and a beekeeper meet at a barbeque. They hit it off, or perhaps they do not. They go home together, or maybe they go their separate ways. In the multiverse, with every possible future ahead of them, a love of honey could make all the difference.
Directed by industry luminary and renowned choreographer Jay Pather (The Firebird; Bridling; Hold Still; Siwela Sonke Dance Theatre) and featuring Mark Elderkin (Speelgoed van Glas/The Glass Menagerie; Amadeus; A Midsummer Night's Dream) and Mwenya Kabwe (Hold Still; Yellowman; mAnJE! MaNje (an epic).
