“Every choice, every decision you’ve ever and never made exists in an unimaginably vast ensemble of parallel universes.”

Marianne meets Roland. Marianne is an astrophysicist, and Roland keeps bees. How will it go, and come, and go? Come again? In an infinite number of universes, anything can happen. Which is good, because Marianne is running out of time.

Premiered at the Royal Court, Nick Payne’s tale of love, loss and honey has played to packed houses in the West End, on Broadway, and further afield. Funny, poignant and unorthodox, it deals with possibilities, with different outcomes from the same starting point, with paths taken and paths not taken. Marianne explores the theory of the multiverse – that there are an infinite number of universes, each differing slightly or greatly from our own. In which of these will her relationship with Roland survive? In which will she survive?

OTG returns to the OFS following the success of After Edward in 2022.
