‘Hilarious’ and ‘devastating’…
Full tour dates have been announced for Frantic Assembly’s brand-new production Lost Atoms, written by Anna Jordan and directed by Frantic Assembly artistic director Scott Graham as part of the celebrated company’s 30th anniversary programme of work.
Lost Atoms tells the story of a relationship: an extraordinary, transformative love. Or is that only in hindsight? Perhaps it was just typical? Or toxic? Or doomed from the start? One thing’s for sure: It changed their lives.
Two people plunge deep into their shared pasts and propel themselves into multiple imagined futures. At times hilarious, at times devastating, Lost Atoms explores how memory impacts the way we look at love, and asks what makes a truly ‘successful’ relationship?
The production will premiere at Curve Leicester from 22 September – 4 October 2025, before touring to Theatre Royal York (7 – 11 October), Liverpool Playhouse (14 – 18 October), Belgrade Theatre Coventry (21 – 25 October), Mercury Theatre Colchester (4 – 8 November), The Lowry Salford Quays (11 – 15 November), Connaught Theatre Worthing (18 – 22 November), Mayflower Studios Southampton (25 – 29 November), Bristol Old Vic (13 – 24 January 2026) and The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre (29 January – 28 February).
Lost Atoms is part of a dynamic programme of work to celebrate 30 years of Frantic Assembly with other projects for 2025 including the return of The House Party by Laura Lomas, co-produced by Headlong and Chichester Festival Theatre in association with Frantic Assembly, and featuring six Ignition graduates in the cast, touring from 21 February – 10 May. May will see the premiere of a collaboration with Aurora Orchestra; Carnival is a new staging of Saint-Saëns’ The Carnival of the Animals and opens at the Southbank Centre on 3 May.
Other projects to mark this milestone year include the release of an updated, third edition of the Frantic Assembly Book of Devising Theatre with new content from Scott Graham and a new devising challenge FranticMirrors following the success of Chair Duets which became a global phenomenon when it went viral inspiring people across the world to explore their creativity.
