THE CHILDREN, by Lucy Kirkwood, performed by Seat of the Pants

In this suspenseful ecological drama, two aging nuclear scientists reside in an isolated cottage by the sea, as the world crumbles around them. Then, an old friend arrives with a frightening request. “The Children raises profound questions about whether having children sharpens, or diminishes, one’s sense of social responsibility … a genuinely disturbing play: one not simply about nuclear power but about the heavy price we may pay in the future for the profligacy of the present.”

Produced by Geoff Short and stage managed by Lisa L. Wiley, with scenic design by Al Costa, costume design by Mia Jones, lighting design by Micah Harvey, sound design by Angie Hayes, props design by Erin Ocampo, projection design by Wayne Smith III, intimacy direction by Julia Fisher, and dialect coaching by Matt Koenig.

Starring Nanna Ingvarsson, Laura Starnik, and Tom Woodward*.
