Living Room Theatre': The Uncertainty Principle - a play by Simon Stephens
Advertisement
Two actors, probably no set, one bar of chocolate. A comedy for curious people, exploring connection and chaos theory through truths, dares and plenty of lies.
Watch the Trailer for The Uncertainty Principle here:

The play has frequent swearing, with some sexual references. Recommended at suitable for those 16 or over. You can buy tickets for those under 16 at your discretion.

“This is brought here by Philip Robinson's Living Room Theatre Company, which has visited Ashburton Arts Centre many times. Every show has been a masterpiece – highly entertaining and always worth seeing.”
Andy Williamson, Arts Director, Ashburton Arts Centre
Written by Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime)
Performed by Rose Reynolds (RSC, Netflix, BBC) and Philip Robinson (The End Is In The Beginning, Every Brilliant Thing)
Directed by Pippa Marriott (Word Kitchen, Washing Machine Of Destiny)
“I wanted to write characters that had the capacity to take themselves and each other by surprise. I wrote them often not knowing what they were going to say next.” Simon Stephens
Reviews from previous productions:
“a must see marvel” New York Times
“playwright Stephens loves surprises…watch romance and physics collide” The Guardian
“through quiet poetry the play captures with poignant intimacy the delicate and often comical dance of connection” The Arts Dispatch
“through their words the characters can inspire you to want to leave the theatre and make the most of what time you have left” London Theatre
“warm, funny, unexpected…a play that actually feels good to watch” Theatre Full Stop
