Arcola Theatre | London, EN
When Georgie unexpectedly reappears at Alex’s shop, the older woman is drawn into her unpredictable world, and her once quiet, orderly existence bursts into chaos and newfound vibrancy.
Through subtle humour and quiet poetry, Heisenberg unravels the complexities of human relationships, capturing with poignant intimacy the delicate and often comical dance of connection. This radical reimagining of Simon Stephens‘ classic play, with Alex now cast as a woman, stars Olivier Award-winning Jenny Galloway as Alex and internationally acclaimed Faline England as Georgie.
Directed by Arcola Theatre Artistic Associate Katharine Farmer, this female-led production offers fresh insights into the universal themes of identity, loneliness and the fluctuation of love.

<h2>Welcome to the Arcola Theatre</h2>

<h2>History of the Theatre</h2>
The Arcola Theatre was originally situated in an Arcola Street textile factory but had to move to the current Ashwin Street location in 2011. It has been integral to the British theatre landscape for two decades, enjoying an eventful journey with many milestones over the years. The theatre hosted The Factory Girls by Frank McGuiness on its fifth anniversary. It celebrated its move to its current location with a premiere of The Painter by Rebecca Lenkiewicz. The awards it received include two Peter Brook Empty Space Awards, and the 2003 and 2006 Time Out Live Awards.
A co-production of Mojo Mickey by playwright Owen McCafferty was the first of the theatre’s West End transfers to the Trafalgar Studios. In 2007, the theatre also hosted the first season of Grimeborn, an annual musical theatre and opera festival held for two weeks in August. Another significant milestone in the history of the theatre is the launch of the Arcola Queer Collective in September 2014.
