The Children, by Lucy Kirkwood, directed by Peter Newling

From award-winning playwright and “the most rewarding dramatist of her generation” (The Independent) Lucy Kirkwood, The Children is a storm-gathering exploration of survival, desire, friendship and duty
In a small English coastal cottage, former nuclear scientists Hazel and her husband Robin are enjoying a quiet retirement, despite living just outside the exclusion zone of a dangerously crumbling nuclear power plant.
She practices her yoga, while he tends to his cows and, bar the rolling blackouts, their lives seem mostly untouched by the chaos outside – until a visit from an old friend and colleague with hidden intentions shakes their peaceful existence, forcing them to confront their secret jealousies and their past and future.
A Guardian poll identified The Children as one of the five best plays of the 21st century. It is certainly a reminder of what a great play looks like.
Season runs 22-31 May at Shirley Burke Theatre, Parkdale.
