About the show

Frantic Assembly's electrifying 30th anniversary production! Jess and Robbie's whirlwind relationship – from disastrous dates to extraordinary love. But are their memories the same? Written by Succession's Anna Jordan, this is physical theatre at its finest.

What is Lost Atoms about?

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?

Why book Lost Atoms tickets?

Following sell-out tours of Othello and Metamorphosis, Frantic Assembly returns with a brand-new play for its 30th Anniversary. Written by Anna Jordan (Succession, Killing Eve, One Day), Lost Atoms is by turns funny and heartbreaking – 'physical theatre that's as tender as it is thrilling' (The Times).

Four-star reviews praise it as 'incredibly moving' (Guardian), 'a sublime piece of theatre' (WhatsOnStage) and 'a tender, visceral exploration of falling in and out of love' (The Stage).

Is Lost Atoms similar to other Frantic Assembly shows?

Yes – if you loved Othello, Metamorphosis or The Unreturning, you'll love Lost Atoms.

Cancellation policy: theatre tickets cannot be cancelled, exchanged, or refunded once purchased.
