The Children is a play by Lucy Kirkwood featuring Meera Syal. It follows two retired nuclear scientists at the end of the world. The performance takes place at the Lyric Hammersmith in London on 5 August 2026, with tickets from £12.00.
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.
