THEATRE PREVIEW

JANUARY 2026 | Volume 259

 

Groundhog Day meets The Theory of Everything in Nick Payne’s Tony-nominated play. Marianne, a Cambridge physicist, and Roland, a London beekeeper, meet by chance, and are instantly drawn to each other. As their relationship grows, they are confronted by choices that will alter the trajectory of their lives. A love story told through the framework of string theory, Constellations is a play about missed chances, second chances, and what it means to be alive.

This production’s cast and crew feature some of the rising stars in the Vancouver theatre scene, under the direction of award-winning, internationally-established theatre-maker Cristiana Ripeanu. With the acting talents of Vancouver-born-and-raised Gillian Clare and Jacob Machin, an Australian actor known for his work in television, alongside set and lighting design by Victoria Bell, Exact Resemblance’s production has garnered attention from industry veterans and audiences alike. “Cristiana Ripeanu is a whip- smart, vibrant addition to the Vancouver scene,” said Dave Deveau, Artistic Director of Carousel Theatre. “[Audiences are] lucky to have her at the helm of a play like Constellations.”
