‘The Children’: A post-nuclear New Hampshire premiere at The Players’ Ring Theatre May 1-17
PORTSMOUTH - In the aftermath of a nuclear incident, two retired scientists live in quiet isolation when a former colleague arrives with a request that will upend everything. In Lucy Kirkwood’s award-winning play, “The Children,” global questions about responsibility and legacy unfold alongside deeply personal, human dynamics – relationships shaped by memory, desire, and the choices we carry. Directed by Matthew Parent, “The Children,” will be on stage at the Players’ Ring Theatre May 1 through May
