Harlequin Theatre, Northwich, to stage Constellations by Nick Payne

Calendar Girls was a huge success for Harlequin Theatre, but the team is now moving on to Constellations by Nick Payne - a love story with a difference that wowed audiences at The Royal Court Theatre in London’s West End, ‘crossed the pond’ to Broadway, and then returned home for another successful run.

The play will be staged at Harlequin Theatre in Queen Street from Wednesday, April 26, to Saturday, April 29, from 7.45pm, although the theatre bar will be open from 7pm.

Further information is available on the theatre website harlequinplayers.com and tickets are available from the theatre online box office, ticketsource.co.uk/harlequintheatre, or by telephone 01606 624517.

Director Gordon Hamlin, a past chairman of the Harlequin Players and current chairman of The Cheshire Theatre Guild, is perhaps best known for the many Shakespearian plays he has directed, but his skills will be put to the test in this love story set in parallel universes.

A spokesperson for Harlequin Theatre said: “This is a beautifully told, compelling story which is bound to draw you into the infinite possibilities that are allowed to abound.

“The questions posed include, ‘Have you ever wondered what would have happened if you’d said yes instead of no?’ and, ‘Would your life be better or the same?’

“In the Quantum Multiverse, every choice, every decision you’ve ever made and never made exists in an unimaginably vast ensemble of parallel universes.

“In Constellations, Nick Parke’s boy-meets-girl chronicle canters forwards and backwards and sideways in time as it explores the choices and decisions we all make, have made and will make as we navigate our lives together.”

The cast are no strangers to Harlequin regulars, and comprises of Sian Weedon (The Ferryman, Lovesong) and Adrian Grace (The Ferryman, The Importance of Being Ernest).
