In the rehearsal room for Frantic Assembly's 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 Unreturning, Yen 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. Content guidance: Lost Atoms contains challenging themes and strong language. It explores issues relating to sex, pregnancy, grief and loss.

Frantic Assembly’s artistic director Scott Graham and writer Anna Jordan discuss Lost Atoms

Listen to Frantic Assembly’s artistic director Scott Graham and writer Anna Jordan discuss Lost Atoms, which plays in our Main House 29 Jan - 28 Feb 2026. Book tickets: https://lyric.co.uk/shows/lost-atoms/ Lost Atoms is commissioned and produced by Frantic Assembly, in a co-production with Curve, Mayflower Southampton and Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. This is 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? Following sell-out tours of Othello and Metamorphosis, Frantic Assembly returns with a brand-new play for its 30th Anniversary year, written by Anna Jordan (Succession, Killing Eve, The Unreturning, Yen). We are the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. We produce bold and relevant world-class theatre.

A Raisin in the Sun Trailer

"A play that changed American theatre forever.” - The New York Times In a rented apartment on Chicago’s South Side, the Younger family is full of hope, dreams, grief, and big plans. Their beloved father has died, and the money from his life insurance policy could change their lives. Mama wants to put down roots in a home of her own. Her daughter Beneatha has her heart set on becoming a doctor. But her son Walter Lee thinks the money is his to spend — and he’s willing to sacrifice his values and his family to get what he wants. Each must face what it means to escape the confines of a segregated society. How do you create a meaningful life in a world designed to keep you down? Ground-breaking, pioneering and challenging, Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun” broke barriers as the first play by a Black woman on Broadway. Directed by Tinuke Craig (Jitney, The Color Purple), this classic family drama full of humour and heart, remains relevant and powerful in a world still divided by inequality.
