As part of their 51st Season in Barboursville, Four County Players is proud to present CONSTELLATIONS by Nick Payne, opening September 29 in the Cellar.

Suppose that life exists in a multiverse — a set of parallel existences that contain infinitely different futures. The possibilities in our lives are, quite literally, endless. Every possible event that could happen, does happen, in one universe or another. And if two lovers meet — are drawn together in every version of existence — every possible happy ending and heartbreak that could befall them, will. Marianne, a physicist, and Roland, a beekeeper, meet at a party. They hit it off and go for a drink. Or perhaps they don’t. They go home together, or maybe they go their separate ways. Perhaps Marianne is engaged to someone else, perhaps Roland is. Maybe she breaks his heart, maybe he breaks hers. Perhaps they come together and their love story can finally take root and grow, or perhaps it will be tragically cut short. Nick Payne’s beautiful play, CONSTELLATIONS, explores how even the smallest change in our lives can dramatically alter the course we take. It is a spellbinding exploration of love, science, quantum theory, and infinite possibility for heartbreak…or for hope.

This production is directed by Karen M. Dabney and its stellar two-person cast is comprised of Amy Dawn Hamburger as Marianne and Reed Willard as Roland.
