Constellations – Melbourne Theatre Company

Overview

Parallel universes, inconsequential decisions, and the results of pure chance can change things at any moment. What would have happened if you didn't miss that train, or hadn't snoozed that alarm one more time? Unless you're Gwyneth Paltrow, you'll never know.
