The Children

By Lucy Kirkwood

Set in the wake of a major environmental disaster, retired nuclear scientists Hazel and Robin, live in an isolated cottage on the coast. Existing just beyond the edge of a radio-active exclusion zone, they have more-or-less adapted to the simple life which is their new normal.

When Rose, their old friend and ex-colleague, arrives unexpectedly, she forces them to face challenging questions about the extent of their guilt and their responsibilities to future generations (The Children), asking them to make some difficult choices. Alongside dealing with the usual challenges of ageing, all of them have some shared emotional baggage to unpack.

This fascinating, engaging play is threaded with flashes of nostalgia and grim humour, exploring a challenging subject that is relevant to us all.
