Celebrating 30 Years of Frantic Assembly With a Bold New Play

What Is Lost Atoms About?

At its heart, Lost Atoms is a story of love – or perhaps the memory of it.

Is it an extraordinary romance that changed everything? Or a typical tale of missed chances and emotional fallout? Told with Frantic Assembly’s trademark physical intensity, Lost Atoms invites audiences to reflect on what makes a relationship truly successful.

Expect a production that’s by turns hilarious and devastating, as two people dig into their shared pasts and spin out into imagined futures. It’s a play about memory, love, loss, and everything in between.
