Theatre lovers and day-trippers alike have a treat in store as celebrated theatre company Frantic Assembly embarks on an ambitious tour of Britain’s most stunning venues with their new production ‘Lost Atoms’. The 17-week journey, marking the company’s 30th anniversary, offers the perfect excuse to explore some of the country’s most beautiful cities and historic theatres.
Beginning at Leicester’s architectural marvel Curve in September 2025, the production will weave its way through Britain’s theatrical landscape, from the medieval streets of York to the vibrant cultural heart of Liverpool. Written by acclaimed screenwriter Anna Jordan (known for ‘Succession’ and ‘Killing Eve’) and directed by Scott Graham, ‘Lost Atoms’ promises to be a compelling exploration of love and memory, combining Frantic Assembly’s signature physical theatre style with powerful storytelling.
The tour provides an excellent opportunity to discover or rediscover some of Britain’s most remarkable venues. The Theatre Royal York, set in the shadow of the magnificent York Minster, offers visitors the chance to combine world-class theatre with exploration of one of England’s most historic cities. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s elegant Playhouse sits at the heart of the city’s cultural quarter, perfectly positioned for a weekend of theatre, museums, and maritime history.
As autumn turns to winter, the production moves to Salford’s striking Lowry theatre, its metallic curves reflecting in the waters of the Quays, before heading south to Bristol’s Old Vic – the oldest continuously operating theatre in the English-speaking world. The tour culminates with a four-week run at London’s Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, a beautiful Victorian venue that’s been giving West End theatres a run for their money for over a century.
Each venue has been chosen not just for its theatrical significance but for its place within the cultural fabric of its city. Whether you’re planning a series of cultural excursions or looking to combine theatre with weekend breaks in some of Britain’s most exciting destinations, ‘Lost Atoms’ provides the perfect centerpiece for your adventures.
The production marks an ambitious new chapter for Frantic Assembly, whose previous works have garnered critical acclaim across three decades. Early booking is recommended, with tickets going on sale at different times for each venue. For full details and booking information, visit franticassembly.co.uk.
