Why see Heisenberg?
The Poignant Broadway Hit Comes To San Francisco
Simon Stephen's triumphant, bold and intelligent Broadway hit Heisenberg comes to San Francisco's A.C.T Geary Theatre this Spring. The two-character drama followed the playwright's award-winning The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime, premiering on the Great White Way in the fall of 2016 to rave reviews.
A startling examination of chance encounters and human interaction, Heisenberg follows young American woman Georgie who unexpectedly plants a kiss on the neck of the much older British butcher Alex. Two vastly different worlds collide as the kiss and its repercussions reverberate throughout their lives, changing them irrevocably.

Really excellent
After being disappointed by Viet Gone our expectations weren't very high, but we were
pleasantly surprised by how excellent is Heisenberg. The performances and production
are stellar, and the play itself interesting and engaging throughout. The plot takes (mostly
unexpected) twists and turns, and the dialog is what one would expect from a very
talented English playwright. Most enjoyable, and highly recommended. ... Read more

A play you'll discuss afterward
Engaging play. Great dialogue. The female character is so outrageous and hyper,
but is well balanced by the calm demeanor and latent sexuality of the older man.
The set is simple, spare, so you can sit anywhere and enjoy it. It's really the dialogue
that captures your attention. Highly recommend the play, especially to unmarried
women and older adult men. Some good laughs and good thoughts to pursue.,

A Charming and Evocative Play
This play may at first strike you as a variant of the motif of the wacky, but
irresistible woman who encounters a somewhat stodgy, emotional naive man
who, is, in turn, rather helpless in the face of her charming assault.
But there are also deeper themes here involving, as the title suggests,
seemingly random collisions between humans where there is much uncertainty
about their identities, life histories, motives, and particularly, the outcome of
the encounter.
The behavior and responses of the two characters who form the entirety of this
90 minute play is, if nothing else, quite unpredictable. How will things turn out?
Seemingly, it's anybody's guess.
The acting is high quality and the staging is imaginative. You leave the theater
feeling a bit unsure of just what has transpired, but pleased to have
encountered these two characters and witnessed the twists and turns of their
deepening relationship ... Read more
