The Children takes place after a tsunami hits an English coastal town and floods a nuclear reactor. The play was a hit in London before the original cast brought it here and opened it on Broadway this month.
The play is loaded with great symbolism (after an unexpected visitor from the past shows up and uses a toilet, the stage is flooded with real water), a nifty set (it looks as if it all takes place peering into a shoebox) and stellar acting (just three actors in one act.) It’s everything a Broadway show should be. Loved it.
