Dr Iris Elcock (Keely Hawes) is so passionate about equality and justice that she is pushing hard against people who preferred the status quo. Thus she is a Labour party local councillor and inching towards standing for Parliament. Then her home life and meeting an actor names George Blythe (Jack Davenport) complicate things.

State Theatre SA has opened its 2024 season with a new production of The Children, Lucy Kirkwood’s ambitious play about the planet and our role in an unpredictable future. The Children opened in London in 2016 and has been popular in the UK, the US and here in Australia. The play opens with one character, Rose (Tina Bursill), standing centre stage in the middle of a ramshackle cottage. There’s an effective moment of silence as we take in the scene and then Hazel (Genevieve Mooy) enters.

The Children is an intelligent, complex, moving and challenging, yet fun play. So it does not offer a simple night of light entertainment, but it is a brilliant piece of work by actors, writer, director, and crew in perfect harmony. It’s not about children, yet it very much is – it concerns the future of children, and the child-like immobilisation of people affected by an overwhelming trauma.
