This award-winning play explores the infinite possibilities in one couple’s love story
Cincinnati, OH – Know Theatre of Cincinnati is proud to present the Regional Premiere of Constellations, by British playwright Nick Payne. Directed by Know Theatre Producing Artistic Director, Bridget Leak, this sparkling and passionate love story about one relationship across parallel universes has captivated audiences on the West End and on Broadway and garnered two Olivier awards.
Marianne is a physicist. Roland is a beekeeper. After a chance encounter at their friend’s barbecue, they date, and break up. Or maybe they don’t. Maybe they fall in love and live happily ever after. Or again, maybe they don’t. Exploring the vast possibilities contained in our ordinary lives, this tender romance lives in multiple realities through its language, questioning the infinite paths that one couple takes, based on the phrasing of a sentence.
Director Bridget Leak is reminded of a time when she was walking with a loved one through the most trying time of their life, “We all wished we had done it with more grace. The superpower of this play is the knowledge that in a universe of endless possibilities, there was one time when you were enough.” Running February 12–22, 2026. Playwright Sponsors: Michele & Drew Petersen.
