National Theatre Live: Constellations
“Four casts. One relationship. Infinite possibilities.”
Overview
A quantum physicist and a beekeeper meet at a barbeque. They hit it off, or perhaps they don't. They go home together, or maybe they go their separate ways. In the multiverse, with every possible future ahead of them, a love of honey could make all the difference. See each of the four casts of Donmar Warehouse's summer 2020 production in this filmed presentation.
