Frantic Assembly is set to mark its 30th anniversary with an exciting new production, Lost Atoms, written by acclaimed playwright Anna Jordan (Succession, Killing Eve, Yen, The Unreturning, We Anchor in Hope) and directed by the company’s artistic director Scott Graham (Metamorphosis, Othello). This brand-new play will have its world premiere at Curve Leicester on 22 September 2025, before embarking on an extensive 17-week UK tour, including a stop at The Lowry, Salford from 11 – 15 November 2025.
A Story of Love, Memory, and What Could Have Been
Lost Atoms delves into the complexities of relationships, exploring whether an extraordinary love story was truly transformative or simply doomed from the start. Two people revisit their shared past, navigating memories and imagined futures in a production that promises to be both deeply moving and unexpectedly humorous. The play examines how memory shapes the way we understand love and raises the question: what truly defines a ‘successful’ relationship?
