THE CHILDRENby Lucy KirkwoodDirector: Lori Delorme
Producer: Cassidy Sadler *The Studio Theatre Originally premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London and later gracing Broadway, this acclaimed play has earned two Tony Award nominations, including Best Play. The Guardian ranked it third on their list of the greatest theatrical works since 2000. This compelling story revolves around Hazel and Robin, a retired married couple of nuclear physicists residing in a remote coastal cottage. As the world grapples with a major nuclear power station disaster, their tranquil existence is disrupted when Rose, a fellow physicist they haven't seen in 38 years, unexpectedly reappears. The play draws inspiration from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear explosion in Japan, adding a poignant layer of reality to the narrative. As the characters delve into themes of morality, guilt, and accountability, Lucy Kirkwood’s three-hander presents a very vivid story of a post-nuclear society through complicated intimate relationships. |
