Order your tickets now for Northern Stage production of “Heisenberg”
A 71-year old Irish butcher sits on a bench in St. Pancras Station. A 42-year old woman from New Jersey impulsively plants a kiss on his neck. What starts with an electric encounter between two strangers, grows, over six scenes, into a complex and life-changing relationship. Simon Stephens’ HEISENBERG lays bare the beauty in the natural unpredictability of human connection. The quietly powerful Heisenberg will bring us back into the much-missed Byrne Theater, for the first indoor main stage production since March 2020.
