Scots actor Peter Capaldi will join stars Chris O’Dowd and Russell Tovey to welcome back audiences to London’s West End in new show Constellations.
The love story will feature four sets of rotating casts and will be shown at the Vaudeville Theatre in London later this month.
Former Doctor Who actor Capaldi will star alongside Zoe Wanamaker, Sheila Atim will perform with Ivanno Jeremiah, Being Human star Tovey is paired with Omari Douglas and Anna Maxwell Martin will feature with The IT Crowd’s O’Dowd.
Director Michael Longhurst described Constellations as “a beautiful love story about possible worlds and the choices we make”.
The story “refracts itself differently in each couple’s hands, which is really fun and playful and beautiful and very moving for lots of different reasons depending on the lived experience that each couple brings”, he said.
Longhurst said he hopes the play encourages people in theatre to “explore the most exciting possibilities in casting”.
“It’s a love story between a beekeeper and a quantum cosmologist,” he explained.
The play is “a really special event that will really mark this moment” of theatres being able to welcome back audiences, he added.
