About Heisenberg at the Arcola Theatre in London

In bustling St Pancras train station, Georgie, a free spirit, impulsively plants a kiss on the neck of Alex, a reserved 70-year-old woman sitting on a bench.

When Georgie unexpectedly reappears at Alex's shop, the older woman is drawn into her unpredictable world, and her once quiet, orderly existence bursts into chaos and newfound vibrancy.

Through subtle humour and quiet poetry, Heisenberg unravels the complexities of human relationships, capturing with poignant intimacy the delicate and often comical dance of connection. This radical reimagining of Simon Stephens' classic play, with Alex now cast as a woman, stars Olivier Award-winning Jenny Galloway as Alex and internationally acclaimed Faline England as Georgie.

Directed by Arcola Theatre Artistic Associate Katharine Farmer, this female-led production offers fresh insights into the universal themes of identity, loneliness and the fluctuation of love.
