What if every moment in your life had an alternate version?
What if love, heartbreak, and fate weren’t linear – but an intricate web of infinite possibilities?
This is the mind-bending, deeply moving and often amusing journey of Nick Payne’s Constellations being presented at the Castlemaine Fringe.
This highly regarded two-hander is the debut show for The Black Stitch Players and is being performed by local professional actors and producers, Letitia Tseng and Harry Tseng, and directed by David Brown and Teresa Conicella.
A beekeeper and a quantum physicist fall in love – not once, but in every possible way. One moment, their relationship is thriving; in another, it’s crumbling, with each conversation looping and shifting in subtle and sometimes tragic ways.
Constellations explores the nature of choice, time and human connection.
But beyond the romance and the science, Constellations also touches on life’s most profound choices, including the right to dignity in death.
As the play’s multiverse shifts and unfolds, it gently raises questions about Voluntary Assisted Dying – not as a political statement, but as a deeply personal decision shaped by love, freedom and the unpredictable paths of fate.
Don’t miss this thought-provoking production because, in at least one universe, you will absolutely love it.
The production will take place at the Wesley Hill Hall on March 28, 29, 30 and April 4, 5, 6.
Directly after each Sunday performance, health professional Catina Eyres will facilitate Q&A sessions discussing end of life and VAD.
She will be joined by the actors, others working in health and those with personal experience.
