"A singular astonishment." —John Lahr, The New Yorker

One relationship. Infinite possibilities.
In the beginning Marianne and Roland meet at a party. They go for a drink, or perhaps they don't. They fall madly in love and start dating, but eventually they break up. After a chance encounter in a supermarket they get back together, or maybe they run into each other and Marianne reveals that she's now engaged to someone else and that's that. Or perhaps Roland is engaged. Maybe they get married, or maybe their time together will be tragically short.
Nick Payne's Constellations is a play about free will and friendship; it's also about quantum multiverse theory, love, and honey.]]> Sat, 25 Nov 2000 09:49:48 +0200 https://zombies.library.land/nick-payne/386525-elegy.html https://zombies.library.land/nick-payne/386525-elegy.html
What if every neuron in the human brain could be mapped and decoded? Every act of human behaviour catalogued and wholly understood? Elegy imagines a very-near future in which radical and unprecedented advances in medical science mean that it's possible to augment and extend life.Through the beautiful and moving story of three women who've made the choice between love and survival, Elegy explores a world in which the brain is no longer a mystery to us. But at what cost?Nick Payne's Elegy premieres at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in April 2016.]]> Fri, 25 Nov 2016 09:49:49 +0200 https://zombies.library.land/nick-payne/386524-incognito.html https://zombies.library.land/nick-payne/386524-incognito.html
The brain builds a narrative to steady us from moment to moment, but it is absolutely an illusion. There is no me, there is no you, and there is certainly no self.Princeton, New Jersey. 1955.
