Heisenberg: The Uncertainty Principle tickets

Great actors but this show sucked. Good thing it was only one act. The set was innovative, but thats about as good as it gets.

The set was very plain which was disappointing at first, however as the play progressed it didn't matter. The movement of the stage set was very clever and atmospheric. The acting was good but the plot not plausible at first but grew believable as the play progressed. Interesting and funny in parts.

I thought this was a very well acted performance of a lovely story about an unlikely romantic relationship. Much better than the critics reviews had led me to think it might be.

This play bears very little relationship to the scientific principle after which it's named, although that does get a nod. Just a nod. Because this is a romantic comedy with two non-scientists in it, and the writer just threw it in, I suspect, because "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle" is a well-known phrase. So, forget that. Instead, what we get is a very sparse stage, all in white, with white furniture - a very clever one, with the walls contracting and expanding to fit the characters' moods, and furniture disappearing into the floor for scene changes. The story starts with an elderly man, sat in what is meant to be a train station, who is approached by a much younger woman, who engages him in intense conversation. He is, of course, amazed - this is London, after all! Of course, she's American. Anyway, an unlikely love story develops. Dunno why the reviews were so iffy - I loved it, thought it was really sweet! The script is witty, the characters engaging - and there's obviously a great rapport between the actors. Very glad I saw it - and as usual, very glad of the lack of an interval - if someone hadn't been in the office when I got back, and keen for chat, I'd have been home unusually early! Booking until 6th January - recommended.
