The Children by Lucy Kirkwood

Cait interviews Frances,  Mel and Paul, the cast of Lucy Kirkwood's tense drama, The Children.Hazel and Robin live in a cottage by the sea because their house has been made uninhabitable by a catastrophic radiation leak at the nearby nuclear power station where they both worked. One day Rose, an old colleague, arrives on a visit. Her visit stirs up memories and reflections on life, love and relationships, but why has she come back after many years away?The play poses pressing and challenging questions about responsibility but does so through the interactions of the characters in a familiar domestic space where the dialogue can range from deceptively light and funny to harsh and bitter within seconds. The Children by Lucy Kirkwood, directed by Carrie Cable20-24 February in the Studio A Putney Theatre Production at Putney Arts TheatreThe CastHazel: Frances BodiamRose: Melanie WakeleyRobin: Paul WhiteTIcket link: https://www.putneyartstheatre.org.uk/event-5338829Artistic Directors: Barney and Cait Hart Dyke. Podcast Editor and Sound Designer: Nick Wells. Music is 'At the Tropicana' by Chalalatas, license courtesy of Epidemic Sounds.Elements Recorded at the Putney Arts Theatre._______________________________The Putney Theatre Company at The South West End!
