Contellations by Nick Payne
directed by Robin Johannsen
Synopsis
Constellations is a moving and thought-provoking romantic drama that explores
love, relationships and the infinite possibilities of the choices we make.
At its heart is a simple love story, but one told through the fascinating concept of
the multiverse, where every decision, chance encounter and moment could lead to
a different outcome. Are our lives predetermined, or shaped by the choices we make
along the way?
Casting and Production notes
Although originally written for two actors, Robin has an exciting vision for this production,
using multiple performers to bring the different possibilities and parallel realities to life.
Performed in the round, with a minimal set, this will be a collaborative ensemble piece,
relying on the physicality, creativity and trust of the cast to tell the story.
Robin is particularly excited about bringing together acting, lighting, sound and music
to create an intimate, engaging and emotionally powerful production.
A wonderful opportunity to be part of something a little different at The Barn – a production
that will challenge, surprise and, hopefully, bring a tear or two to the audience's eyes!
We warmly welcome people of all ages to come along for a read-through and audition.
Whether you're a familiar face at The Barn or joining us for the first time, we'd love to see you!
