The Children
Lyric Hammersmith
Lucy Kirkwood writes about people trying to maintain normalcy when the world has shifted. Hazel and Robin live at the edge of a radiation exclusion zone: yoga, parsnip wine, the small routines that keep you sane. Then an old friend arrives with buried secrets and a proposition that tests everything.
It's darkly funny, but it asks serious questions: what do you owe to the people you love, and to the generation after? Rachel O'Riordan directs, with Meera Syal, Olivier-nominated, known from A Tupperware of Ashes and Noises Off, in the lead. This is the Lyric's 10th anniversary production of the work.
Theatre that thinks clearly about how we live when things fall apart.
