Inside the bustling St Pancras station, Georgie, a free spirit, impulsively plants a kiss on the neck of Alex, a quiet and reserved 70-year-old woman sitting on a bench.
After Georgie reappears unexpectedly in Alex’s shop, the older woman becomes drawn into her unpredictable world, and her once orderly and pleasant existence bursts into newfound vibrancy and chaos.
Through quiet poetry and subtle humour, Heisenberg slowly unravels the many complexities of human relationships, capturing the delicate and sometimes comical dance of connection with poignant intimacy. Olivier Award-winning Jenny Galloway stars as Alex in this radical reimagining of Simon Stephens‘ classic play with the internationally acclaimed Faline England as Georgie.
Artistic Associate Katharine Farmer directs at the Arcola Theatre in this female-led production that offers a fresh insight into the universal themes of loneliness, identity, and the fluctuation of love.
