Oscar Nominee Jake Gyllenhaal & Olivier Winner Ruth Wilson Begin Previews in Constellations on Broadway

Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal and Olivier winner Ruth Wilson begin previews in the American premiere of Constellations on December 16. Nick Payne’s new play is directed by Michael Longhurst and will officially open on January 13, 2015 at MTC’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

Constellations tells the story of one relationship with infinite possibilities. It explores the boundless potential of a first encounter, free will and friendship. The play opened at the Royal Court’s Jerwood Theatre Upstairs in 2012, directed by Longhurst, before transferring to the West End.

The production will feature scenic and costume design by Tom Scutt, lighting design by Lee Curran, sound design by David McSeveney and movement direction by Lucy Cullingford.
