The only response to a world in peril is to be optimistic...
— playwright Simon Stephens
Amidst a crowded London train station, Georgie spots Alex, a much older man, and plants a kiss on his neck. This electric encounter thrusts these two strangers into a fascinating and life changing game. Simon Stephens's play brings to life the uncertain and often comical sparring match that is human connection.
“Heisenberg … finds the soaring, suspenseful music in even the most basic banalities of the everyday”
— New York Times
Heisenberg is directed by Steve Scarpa, who directed NHTC’s first production at EBM, Our Town. His NHTC directing credits include Proof and Waiting for Lefty. He has also appeared on stage frequently in NHTC productions, most recently White Rabbit, Red Rabbit.

Kulp, a longtime company member, has appeared on stage in White Rabbit, Red Rabbit, Middletown, The Seafarer, Proof, The Magician, and Glengarry Glen Ross, while also directing several company productions. Andersen most recently appeared in last season’s hit Cry It Out, as well as Trevor and A Public Reading of an Unproduced Screenplay About The Death of Walt Disney, among others.
