Aglionby never came to NZ with Early settlers...but had tattoo heads from Sydney Australia sent to him. Read the book.

Written By Nick Payne

September 18-28th
Tickets from: www.huttrep.co.nz...

Constellations is a beautiful, quantum-leaping two-hander that begins with a simple encounter between a man and a woman. But what happens next defies the boundaries of the world we think we know. Suppose that life exists in a multiverse – the possibilities are endless. Every possible event that can happen, does happen, in one universe or another. And if two lovers meet, every possible happy ending and heartbreak that could befall them will.

Constellations delves into the infinite possibilities of Marion and Roland's relationship, raising questions about the difference between choice and destiny.​
