Review: LOST ATOMS, Lyric Hammersmith Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Feb 4, 2026

There’s nothing like a great love story. Jess and Robbie met and instantly fell head over heels for each other – well, almost. Then, it was bliss until it wasn’t. Stuck in a liminal space, they disclose their own versions of the facts. Frantic Assembly take on romance and loss in their new production, which originally premiered in Leicester last year. Lost Atoms candidly analyses the everyday tragedies that bring a relationship to an end. It’s uplifting, moving, and desperate in all the right moments. Written by Anna Jordan and directed by Scott Graham, the show doesn’t hide a grander purpose. There’s no apocalypse, no war, no climate emergency that’s being directly addressed – we just have two people trying to make it work. And that’s their crux.
