The Children
by Lucy Kirkwood.
Directed by Jonathan Reed
May 2025
At the Tower Theatre, Stoke Newington.
A small, isolated cottage by the sea. An eroding coastline. Blackouts, radiation, and a nuclear exclusion zone. Three friends reunite after almost 40 years to decide what, if anything, should be done.
In the wake of a nuclear accident in which they all played some part, The Children explores Rose, Hazel, and Robin grappling with the responsibility their generation owes to the next, as a lifetime of resentments, jealousies, and lies are exposed in this gripping, powerful and witty play.
The Children premiered at the Royal Court in 2016 and on Broadway in 2017 to widespread critical acclaim.
