Theater Voices announces auditions for a staged reading of The Children by Lucy Kirkwood, directed by Patricia Bunce.
Two retired English nuclear scientists live in an isolated cottage by the sea as the world around them crumbles. Together they plan to live forever on yogurt and yoga, until an old friend and former co-worker arrives with a frightening request. "Grips compulsively."--The Guardian. "A richly suggestive and beautifully written piece of work...Kirkwood is the most rewarding dramatist of her generation."—The Independent.
Auditions: Monday, August 25 at 7:00pm at Steamer No.10 Theatre, 500 Western Avenue, Albany. Actors will be reading from the play.
