Event description
In a quiet coastal cottage, two retired nuclear physicists Hazel and Robin are living a simple life: yoga, salads, farming. Their old workplace, a nuclear power station, has just been devastated by a tsunami. Radiation fills the air. One evening an old colleague, Rose, drops by unannounced with a proposition which will shake their already fragile world.
Lucy Kirkwood’s (Chimerica, Mosquitoes) Tony-nominated play brings accountability and mortality to the forefront in this surprisingly funny and thought-provoking work. Head, heart and humour: the perfect ingredients.
“ … a richly suggestive and beautifully written piece of work … Kirkwood is the most rewarding dramatist of her generation.” The Independent (London)
“The Children is tantalisingly hard to define: it is about aging and responsibility. … It is very English, somewhat menacing and often funny.” Time Out London
