The Children

2024 season

The Children

by Lucy Kirkwood

Directed by Madeleine Withington

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.
