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).

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.

A ship, sailing 15,000 miles to Australia, is crammed with Britain’s convicts – a punishment for their crimes. After a life-threatening voyage they arrive in 1788. But keeping the colony disciplined is a brutal job, and cruelty is rife. To keep the convicts in line and attempt to ‘civilise’ this often desperate, violent, poverty stricken group, a young ambitious lieutenant, Ralph Clark, decides they should perform a play. With a mostly illiterate cast, rising mistrust amongst the ranks, and the leading actor facing the gallows, this is a one of a kind theatre production… In this brand new production, Timberlake Wertenbaker revisits her seminal play examining power in the British justice system, collaborating with consultant Ian Michael to honour the voice and history of Australia’s First Nations People. Artistic Director Rachel O’Riordan (A Doll’s House, Iphigenia in Splott) directs this Olivier award winning classic based on the extraordinary true story of the British Empire’s most remote penal colony.
