Lost Atoms: A Heartfelt UK Tour of Love and Memory
Lost Atoms stars Joe Layton (ITV’s Coronation Street; Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD) and Hannah Sinclair Robinson (Metamorphosis, UK tour; The Play That Goes Wrong, West End). The play is written by Anna Jordan (Succession, Killing Eve, One Day, The Unreturning) and directed by Artistic Director of Frantic Assembly Scott Graham (Othello, Metamorphosis).
Love’s strange, isn’t it? You think you’re going to feel it in your chest, or your gut. But I swear, I can feel it in every cell.
Jess and Robbie. A chance meeting, some disastrous dates, an extraordinary transformative love. It’s the stuff of fairy tales. Or is it?
Lost Atoms is a wild ride through a life-changing relationship, or Jess and Robbie’s recollection of it. Together they scale the soaring highs and crushing lows, relive the beats of connection, the moments of loss. But are their stories the same? And can their memories be trusted?
Lost Atoms is by turns funny and heartbreaking; a timeless story which explores how love shapes our lives and how we remember it. Two people plunge deep into their shared pasts and propel themselves into multiple futures, risking it all.
Come fall in love.
