The Children
As the world outside deals with disaster at a nearby nuclear power station, two retired nuclear engineers, Hazel and Rob, are visited by Rose, a former colleague who arrives with history and a hidden agenda. A nuclear-powered dark comedy inspired by events in Fukushima in 2011, from Olivier Award-winning playwright Lucy Kirkwood -- before they decide their future, they must reconcile their past.
