This October, Frantic Assembly return to York Theatre Royal’s Main House with their 30th anniversary production Lost Atoms – written by Anna Jordan (Succession, Killing Eve, The Unreturning) and directed by Scott Graham (Othello, Metamorphosis).
The show stars Joe Layton (ITV’s Coronation Street; Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D) and Hannah Sinclair Robinson (Metamorphosis, UK tour; The Play That Goes Wrong, West End).
Love’s strange, isn’t it? You think you’re going to feel it in your chest, or your gut. But I swear, I can feel it in every cell. Jess and Robbie. A chance meeting, some disastrous dates, an extraordinary transformative love. It’s the stuff of fairy tales. Or is it? Lost Atoms is a wild ride through a life-changing relationship, or Jess and Robbie’s recollection of it. Together they scale the soaring highs and crushing lows, relive the beats of connection, the moments of loss. But are their stories the same? And can their memories be trusted? Lost Atoms is by turns funny and heartbreaking; a timeless story which explores how love shapes our lives and how we remember it. Two people plunge deep into their shared pasts and propel themselves into multiple futures, risking it all. Come fall in love.
Joe Layton appeared in ITV’s Coronation Street as regular character Mick Michaelis. He was an early graduate of Frantic Assembly’s talent development programme Ignition and has continued to work with the company as Iago in Othello, Chief Clerk in Metamorphosis and Frankie in The Unreturning. Joe’s theatre credits include Sam Wanamaker Festival (The Globe) and Animal Farm (West Yorkshire Playhouse) while on-screen highlights include Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Young Wallander, Liberte: A Time to Spy, Casualty, Father Brown and New Worlds.
