SUMMARY:"The Children" at The Players' Ring
DESCRIPTION:Written by Lucy Kirkwood. Directed by Matthew Parent. \n\n\nIn 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\, global questions about responsibility and legacy unfold alongside deeply personal\, human dynamics—relationships shaped by memory\, desire\, and the choices we carry. \nWith sharp wit and unexpected humor\, the play moves gracefully between intimate moments of connection and the larger forces that surround them. The looming crisis remains in the background\, as the story focuses instead on what it means to care—for one another\, for the future\, and for the world we leave behind. \nA riveting\, funny\, and quietly profound exploration of responsibility at every scale. New Hampshire Premiere. \n“Gripping\, unsettling\, and profoundly relevant.” — The New York Times\n \n“An extraordinary piece of writing.” — The Guardian \n\nCast\n\nKim Holliday\nRobert Murphy*\nDonna Phofolos \n*Member of Actors’ Equity Association\, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States\, appearing under Single Engagement Agreement \n\n\n\nCreative Team\n\nSet Design Ben Bagley\nLighting Design Lauren Stetson\nCostume Design Sarai Kramer\nSound Design Joshua Faigen\nLanguage Coach Aimee Blesing\nDance Choreography Ro Gavin \nProduction Champions Sue Forti and Bob Houlihan \nMay 1 – May 17\nThursdays at 7:00pm \nFridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm \nSaturdays and Sundays at 2:30pm \nCurious about the process? The first Sunday matinee show (May 3) will be followed by an optional talkback with the director and cast! \nTickets\nGeneral Admission: $32 \nSeniors (65+)/Students/Veterans/First Responders: $29 \nSeating is unassigned. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime\, and seating is first come\, first served.
