Rogue Theater Company Presents Heisenberg

This electric encounter thrusts two strangers into a fascinating and life-changing game. Written by Tony Award winner Simon Stephens and directed by Michael J. Hume, HEISENBERG brings to blazing, theatrical life the uncertain and often comical sparring match that is human connection. This play tells the tale of two strangers who meet by chance in a crowded London train station. Despite their wildly different backgrounds, they find themselves drawn to each other and embark on a tumultuous and unexpected romance.

Stephens has a knack for crafting dialogue that is both sharp and poignant, and he uses this skill to delve into some deep and universal themes. As the two characters navigate the ups and downs of their relationship, they explore issues of identity, communication, and the mysteries of human connection.

Launched in 2019, Rogue Theater Company (RTC) presents theater that evokes, entertains, and enlivens the human spirit. In a collaborative environment — from Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s artists past and present, to the vast pool of extraordinary talent throughout the valley — our vision is to provoke dialogue, encourage empathy, and inspire curiosity. Theater plays a crucial role in creating a better society. In the experience of theater, we witness differences, recognize commonalities, and learn empathy. Theater has the capacity to feel personal and intimate — to create palpable emotional connections between the performers and audience members in real time. RTC is committed to bringing art to life by exciting the hearts and minds of our audiences. As one of actor Lily Tomlin’s characters says, “We go to the theater to get a goose bump experience.” We hope this is your experience after seeing one of our productions. Lights up!
