Constellations by Nick Payne at Caveat

The acclaimed play Constellations by Nick Payne returns to New York City for a one-night-only immersive performance, reimagined by Argentinian director Milagros Luis.

In Nick Payne’s Constellations, a physicist and a beekeeper fall in love—and we witness their relationship unfold across countless universes. Each word and each choice creates a new reality, exploring how love, fate, and free will intertwine. Both funny and heartbreakingly real, Constellations reminds us how fragile and extraordinary human connection can be. Set inside a bar, this revival transforms Payne’s celebrated two-hander into an intimate experience where the audience becomes part of the story.

Originally staged as part of Fordham University’s Fall 2024 Studio Season, the production quickly sold out all performances and filled every audition slot within 24 hours. The overwhelming response inspired producer Fabiola Santiago-Ruiz to bring the show back to life for a New York audience, with an eye toward a longer run in 2026. The performance stars original Fordham cast members Alexa Smith as Marianne and Marco Lizarraga as Roland.
