About Lost Atoms

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? 

Written by Anna Jordan (The UnreturningYen and TV’s Succession and One Day), 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. 

Following sellout tours of Othello and Metamorphosis Frantic Assembly returns with a brand-new play for its 30th Anniversary. 

‘Their assured brand of physicality is felt within the opening seconds. How many other companies could leave their signature so swiftly.’

The Guardian


‘Jordan writes about intimacy with gorgeous authenticity.’

The Times

‘A sublime piece of theatre.’ ‘Joe Layton and Hannah Sinclair Robinson are enthralling to watch making this two-hander electric.’

WhatsOnStage

‘A tender, visceral exploring of falling in and out of love.’

The Stage

‘Lost Atoms is a contemporary look at love and a fitting tribute to Frantic Assembly’s 30-year commitment to collaborative, physical and creative theatre.’
