The Children

Latest theatre play by IO Performance. 

Set on the east coast, Hazel and Robin sit in their kitchen, both intelligent, retired nuclear physicists, now living a dull life with their four children now grown. Rose is there, a former friend, after 38 years and time spent in America – and both women have always shared an affection for Robin. Two backstories emerge, one from many years ago, and one more recent. The cottage they are in is just outside an exclusion zone, set up when a local power plant delivered the same results seen in Chernobyl. Will the fallout be more of a concern that troubles amongst these old friend? A drama with many comic moments that poses many important questions.
