The Children

Coward Studio

Two retired nuclear scientists live in a remote cottage by the sea. When an old friend arrives with a frightening request, their lives are turned upside down.

 Set in the aftermath of an environmental disaster, the tension simmers as they must confront their moral compromises, loyalty, and the cost of doing nothing. 

From Olivier Award winner Lucy Kirkwood (The Welkin, NSFW), a thought-provoking, darkly funny, and heartbreakingly human play about the world we inherit - and the one we leave behind.

This is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
