What do we owe the next generation?

Courtenay Little Theatre presents The Children by Lucy Kirkwood at the Sid Williams Theatre, April 15–19.

Part mystery, part comedy, and part eco-thriller, The Children is witty, gripping, and deeply relevant. Retired nuclear engineers Hazel and Robin are living in a cottage on the coast of England after a disaster at the nearby power station. When their former colleague Rose arrives unexpectedly, an evening of food, drink, and memories takes a surprising turn.

As old secrets surface, the three must confront questions of responsibility, sacrifice, aging, and what they will leave behind.

Directed by Catherine Hannon and featuring Simon Easterman, Erin Malin, and Ruthie Tilston.
