Russell Tovey *(Years and Years)* and ***Omar*i Douglas** (**It’s a Sin*) will be playing a couple on stage in the West End revival of **Constellations.* They join a rotating cast for the award-winning play exploring a relationship between a quantum physicist and a bee-keeper and are appearing at the Vaudeville Theatre from Friday 30th July until Wednesday 11th August.

“A quantum physicist and a beekeeper meet at a barbeque. They hit it off, or perhaps they don’t. They go home together, or maybe they go their separate ways. In the multiverse, with every possible future ahead of them, a love of honey could make all the difference…” is the synopsis for the play first performed in 2012 and written by Nick Payne.

“Reviving *Constellations* with four brilliant casts in rep – varying the age, ethnicity, sexuality and nationality of the lovers – feels like a thrilling way to help reanimate the West End, offering audiences multiple new interpretations of this life-affirming play about choice ” said Michael Longhurst, Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse and director of the 2012 run.

The other cast for the the show are Sheila Atim and Ivanno Jeremiah (18 June – 1 August) Peter Capaldi and Zoë Wanamaker (23 June – 24 July), and Anna Maxwell Martin and Chris O’Dowd (6 August – 12 September).
