University of Oxford Student Season: Trinity Term 2026

By Nick Payne

In what universe do a quantum physicist and a beekeeper fall in love? As it turns out, in many.

Nick Payne’s Olivier Award-winning Constellations traces Marianne and Roland’s relationship through a series of fragmented, intertwining scenes, each splintering into new possibilities. From a honey-inspired proposal to late-night conversations about multiverses, their story unfolds in variations that are by turns funny, awkward and unexpectedly moving.

Both playful and melancholic, Constellations reveals the kaleidoscope of “every decision you’ve ever and never made”.
