Choose options
Simon Stephens’s brilliant contemporary drama 'Heisenberg' arrived at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre in 2016 under the auspices of Manhattan Theatre Club, completing a triumphant, critically adored Broadway premiere run following its off-Broadway explosion. Conceived as a sparse, structurally minimalist two-character tour-de-force exploring quantum uncertainty motifs in human connection, the real-time narrative unfolds inside a crowded London train station, tracking the electric, erratic romance that explodes when a volatile American woman kisses an elderly, buttoned-up British butcher on the neck. Directed by Mark Brokaw, the production starred Mary-Louise Parker and Denis Arndt.
