The play "The Children," written by Lucy Kirkwood, concerns two retired nuclear scientists. The narrative follows them as they confront the consequences of a potential end to the world. It is presented at the Lyric Hammersmith in London.
Lucy Kirkwood's fiercely clever and timely 2016 play follows two retired nuclear scientists at the end of the world, forced to grapple with the consequences of their actions. Directed by Rachel O'Riordan and starring Meera Syal, this poignant, harrowing story explores themes of inter-generational accountability, personal morality, and the environmental crisis, which feel just as relevant to our modern age as they did when they were written.
