'Constellations' Northern Stage actors sparkle in this cosmic romance about a beekeeper, a scientist and the infinite universe of possible futures their love creates.
'Constellations' The Perseids aren’t the only major celestial event this week. Middlebury Acting Company, in its first showing since before the pandemic, presents Nick Payne’s two-person play Constellations. Starring real-life couple Grace Experience and Stephen Shore and steeped in the concepts of quantum cosmology, this seemingly ordinary love story between a beekeeper and a theoretical physicist fractures across multiple timelines and infinite possibilities. Audience members are invited to contemplate the intersections of choice and destiny with this work that a review in Variety called “short and sweet and strangely haunting.” Picnic dinners are available for al fresco theatergoers to purchase.
