Heisenberg
August 28 – September 9, 2018 (new dates!)
Liberty Theatre, Hailey
by Simon Stephens
Directed by Denise Simone
A kiss is just a kiss, but sometimes…
Amidst the bustle of a crowded London train station, Georgie spots Alex, a much older man, and plants a kiss on his neck. This electric encounter thrusts these two strangers into a fascinating and life-changing game. Directed by Company of Fools’ Founding Member Denise Simone Heisenberg brings to intriguing theatrical life the uncertain and often comical sparring match that is human connection.
Internationally renowned for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, visionary playwright Simon Stephens brings us this sharply original play starring New York City based actors, Hanna Cheek (COF’s Grounded, Other Desert Cities) and Christopher Curry (Sully, O’Neil Playwright Conference ). The play will be performed in an intimate audience configuration with seating for 70 people on stage.
Age recommendation: Thirteen and up for adult language and sexual situations
Run time: 1 hour and 20 minutes with no intermission
“[Simon Stephens] tells the simple story of two perfect strangers who embark on an affair and find their lives changes irrevocably. You’ve seen this one before, you say? Not like this one, you haven’t.”
—Entertainment Weekly“Mines the extraordinary in the commonplace.”
—The New York Times“The range of possibilities between the spaces in “Heisenberg” resonates in your mind long after it’s over; the unheard melody lingers on.”
—The New York Times
