The Children

This is a relatively new play; having been first performed in 2016, with demonstrations taking place against climate change it was current and topical. I found this totally absorbing; at times confrontational others poignant and emotional yet there was still room for wit and humour, it really was a ‘what if’ kind of play.

I did have a chuckle at the end of the evening when the gentleman next to me said “Well I thoroughly enjoyed that. Haven’t a clue what it was all about but did enjoy it!”

With only three characters it was imperative that the relationships and rapport between them was genuine and believable and this it certainly was. They worked for each other and were giving open and true in their performances.

The script was excellent with conversational dialogue superbly delivered by the cast and a storyline that was interestingly compelling and thought provoking.
