"If I see a more ingenious, touching and intellectually searching play than Constellations this year, I will count myself very lucky. Nick Payne’s drama lasts just over an hour but packs in more than most shows manage in three times that length. It is playful, intelligent and bursting with ideas, but also achieves a powerful undertow of emotion."

Our set design is looking wicked!

See what our lighting and set designer (Chris Burr) has to say about what to expect about the design for next week's production of 'Constellations'.

"In creating the set for Constellations we tried to emulate both the intergalactic element of the play and the incredible intimacy that the play centres around. This has been done by having the audience in the round with each seat being close to the actors, whilst also having the main stage lit from within and punctured with holes to create a 'star-scape', galactic effect. I'm incredibly excited for the show and for the audience to see what we've done with the space!"

Take a look at this article, published in The Guardian today, about the creative vision behind 'Constellations'.

“Nick’s play is a provocation – it shifts constantly, and is impossible to design naturalistically. It deals with faith, the cosmos, who we are. It works on so many levels: an epic, cathartic event.”

We open in just under a week so don't forget to grab your tickets: https://experimentaltheatreclub.tixato.com/buy

Take a look at our FAULTLESS preview from The Cherwell!

"This production has the makings of a truly unique and unforgettable Oxford theatre experience."

"[The actors] give transfixing performances ... I would say this was some of the best acting I had ever seen."

"Ultimately, this play is bold in its writing by Nick Payne, but is even bolder in its ex*****on. Here I think the old adage that ‘Fortune favors the bold’ applies; and I am very optimistic that this will pay off in one of the most exciting pieces of theatre to come to Oxford."
