The Children by Lucy Kirkwood

The Children by Lucy Kirkwood ★ ★ ★ ★ “tantalizingly hard to define…it is very English, somewhat menacing, and often funny.” Time Out, London Robin and Hazel are two retired nuclear scientists, living in a seaside cottage on the east coast of England. But all is not as it seems. Their electricity is restricted to evenings, and they have a Geiger counter in the kitchen. On a warm summer’s evening, Rose, an old friend and colleague, arrives from America with a startling request. Inspired by the nuclear disaster in Fukushima Japan, The Children is a pressure cooker that asks powerful questions of us all. Playing out in real time, by turns it is a mystery, comedy and drama. ★ ★ ★ ★ "The Children should be seen for its simple take on powerful questions" Chicago Sun-Times Brenda Robins starred (as the delightful 90-year old Vera) in our production of 4000 Miles earlier this year. Nancy Palk and Joseph Ziegler (who are married in real life) are returning after making their Belfry debuts in Da (in 1979). The three actors are longtime friends. “... astonishing and thrilling...bristling with chills and suspense.” New York Times ★ ★ ★ ★ “A richly suggestive and beautifully written piece of work.... Kirkwood is the most rewarding dramatist of her generation." The Independent ★ ★ ★ ★ "This is sci-fi kitted out with real people, real dilemmas, real scope. It’s really good."
