This 100 minute (no intermission) play could be compared to the parsnip wine served during the proceedings...sharp, tangy and packing quite a punch. Inspired by the Fukushima nuclear explosion in Japan in 2011 it serves as a cautionary tale concerning environmental impact of outdated technology when safer means of supplying for the electrical needs of the population are now available.

The Seat of the Pants production of The Children, written by Lucy Kirkwood, produced by Geof Short and directed by Craig Josephis a disturbing, frightening, yet tremendously witty and black-humor-infused work that addresses our unfortunately timely issues, many concerns about nuclear facilities (and weapons).  It is timely, as 2025 is the 80th anniversary of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is always unfortunate since the once-created nuclear products would not be erased from the earth, just like Frankenstein.

Set in an east coastal town of England, a summer’s evening, just after a nuclear disaster, which sounds very similar to that of the Fukushima Daiichi (nuclear plant) disaster,  after the Tōhoku earthquake and Tsunami in March 2011, three retired nuclear physicists and technicians dig out their past—revealing old skeletons and not so clean laundry—in front of the audience.
