The Children is a black comedy by Lucy Kirkwood that uses a major nuclear disaster as a plot device to explore a wide range of moral and ethical issues. It is a fine theatrical experience that poses lots of tough questions, but also entertains.
The future of our world in the context of natural or man-made disasters is an uneasy topic of discussion. What could these disasters unveil, not only for our communities, but for the people and relationships we hold dear? Lucy Kirkwood’s The Children explores all of this and more, playing at the Gladstone Theatre from Feb. 19-March 8.
Talented actors made a positive impression on our theatre reviewer for Outside Mullingar, on now at The Gladstone Theatre.
