Following the successful, inaugural run of our Sidewalk Series with Lyle Kessler’s ORPHANS this past summer, Street Corner Arts returns to Hyde Park Theatre with CONSTELLATIONS by Nick Payne. Premiering in 2012 at London’s Royal Court Theatre, this much praised two-hander also enjoyed a successful Broadway run in 2015 garnering numerous award nominations. The Corner welcomes award-winning artists Liz Fisher to helm this production and Austin favorites Stephanie Carll and Ryan Hamilton in the roles of Marianne and Roland.

Is love timeless? Marianne, a mercurial quantum physicist, and Roland, an unvarnished beekeeper, explore this possibility through multiple episodes in their lives. Like a symphony, the leitmotifs and codas in this couple’s multiverse are performed. Significant passages are played and replayed, with variations both subtle and grand. We witness the complexity of their relationship ebb and flow through initial flirtations, commitment overtures, and in painful reprises of infidelity and illness. Through the unconventional telling of this love story, CONSTELLATIONS searches for the hope that love exists in a universe independent of physical and emotional constraint, even free of the confines of time and space.

Starring Stephanie Carll (THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING) and Ryan Hamilton (FAT PIG, COCK), directed by Liz Fisher (BELLEVILLE, DEUS EX MACHINA).

This production is made possible in part through a grant from the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin.
