VIDEO: Ruth Wilson Talks Broadway's CONSTELLATIONS & More on 'The View'

Ruth Wilson stopped by ABC's 'The View' to talk about her new Showtime series 'The Affair' and making her Broadway debut in Constellations opposite Jake Gyllenhaal. Watch the appearance below!

Performances began December 16, for the American premiere of Constellations, the acclaimed new play by Nick Payne, directed by Michael Longhurst, starring Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Golden Globe nominee for Nightcrawler; Brokeback Mountain) and two-time Olivier Award winner Ruth Wilson (Golden Globe nominee for Showtime's "The Affair;" BBC's and PBS' Emmy nominated "Luther"). Constellations stars Gyllenhaal and Wilson are featured in the January 2015 issue of Vogue Magazine - scroll down for their portrait!

Speaking about the play, Gyllenhaal told Vogue, "I think the thing that makes it challenging, and ultimately why I wanted to do it is that it feels as if underneath the words is -- forgive the pun -- a universe of choices. And there will never be a night when those choices will be the same. Even in the past two days, we've interpreted certain scenes at least five ways."

"That's the genius of it," Wilson added. "It's a huge, universal theme, but told through a love story. It makes your mind spin with ideas and thoughts about all the options available to you, but also about how fate plays a role -- maybe you don't actually have any free will at all. Nick has a huge heart, along with an amazing intellect, and he combines the two in a really beautiful, simple way."

This strictly limited 13-week engagement opens on Tuesday, January 13, 2015 at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

This mind-bending, romantic journey begins with a simple encounter between a man and a woman (Gyllenhaal and Wilson). But what happens next defies the boundaries of the world we think we know - delving into the infinite possibilities of their relationship and raising questions about the difference between choice and destiny.

The creative team for Constellations includes Tom Scutt (scenic and costume design), Lee Curran (lighting design), David McSeveney (sound design), Simon Slater (original music), Lucy Cullingford (movement director), and Thomas Schall (fight director).
