Lost Atoms

Lost Atoms tells the story of a relationship: an extraordinary, transformative love.

Or is that only in hindsight? Perhaps it was just typical? Or toxic? Or doomed from the start? One thing’s for sure: It changed their lives. Two people plunge deep into their shared pasts and propel themselves into multiple imagined futures.

At times hilarious, at times devastating, Lost Atoms explores how memory impacts the way we look at love, and asks what makes a truly “successful” relationship?

Following sell-out tours of Othello and Metamorphosis, Frantic Assembly returns with a brand-new play for its 30th Anniversary year, written by Anna Jordan (Succession, Killing Eve, The Unreturning, Yen).
