The Children

Hazel and Robin have survived a catastrophe. Living on the edge of a radiation exclusion zone, Hazel still practices her yoga and Robin’s brewing parsnip wine. They are trying to keep going, clinging onto normality.

That is until their old friend Rose knocks on the door. With her she brings old memories, buried secrets – and a proposition. One which tests their loyalty and forces them to confront their debt to the next generation.

Lucy Kirkwood’s gripping, darkly funny drama is directed by Artistic Director Rachel O’Riordan in this 10th anniversary production, starring the Olivier Award-nominated Meera Syal (A Tupperware of Ashes; Noises Off) as Hazel.
