Note: The Children is the first staged reading in the 2026 Bold Voices series. A post-show discussion will follow both performances
Retired nuclear physicists Robin and Hazel attempt to maintain normalcy as the world outside teeters in the aftermath of a disaster. When a former colleague arrives with an unsettling proposal, they are forced to confront the legacy of their work, their responsibility to the future, and the moral weight of sacrifice. Lucy Kirkwood’s The Children is a taut, unsettling exploration of aging, legacy, and environmental responsibility — a surprisingly funny, yet razor-sharp thriller. A gripping drama about how small personal choices echo across generations.
