Review: CONSTELLATIONS at West End Players Guild is a Bittersweet Nugget of Relationship Reality
by James Lindhorst - Feb 15, 2025

West End Players Guild’s production of CONSTELLATIONS is a bittersweet dose of reality. It is a relationship story more than a love story. Payne examines how we react to two things in life, our partner’s behaviors and what the fates hand us. No one can predict when, or if, life will bring happiness, heartbreak, pain, or loss. Life must be lived and be experienced.  
Review: CONSTELLATIONS at Constellation Theatre
by Brian Bochicchio - Feb 12, 2025

The title is not a typo.  Hey, what are the odds?  Could it be kismet, a prearranged theatrical landing spot, or totally happenstance? And if we cosmically reset the situation, would it happen again in the same way? Would we want it to happen the same way?

Review: A-Class Act in Teater Pandora’s Constellations
by Rakaputra Paputungan - Jan 9, 2025

I had my first experience of watching Nick Payne’s Constellations on the National Theatre website. The production I watched was produced by DONMAR, directed by Michael Longhurst, and performed by Peter Capaldi and Zoë Wanamaker. Although the stage was empty, the use of colour and empty space enhanced by the blue and white balloons surrounding them made the play feel spectacularly otherworldly. I was instantly in love.
