The Tony Award-nominated play The Children by British playwright and screenwriter Lucy Kirkwood is a contemporary comic drama set on the seismically active, tsunami-eroded, albeit beautiful, rural coast of Angelsea, England in the environs of a compromised nuclear power plant. The play concerns two retired nuclear physicists, the quirky married couple Hazel and Robin, who are encamped in a remote farm cottage on a crumbling coastal bluff. The world outside is dealing with the aftermath of a major disaster at the nuclear power station. In the end, the play forwards the conversation between baby boomers and millennials about intergenerational legacy.
