The 2018 British play is set six months after a tsunami-caused nuclear disaster on the English coast
After a 2011 tsunami caused a devastating nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, the top 5 centimeters of soil were removed for miles around the disaster zone to decontaminate the earth.
“The Children” made its San Diego premiere Friday at Moxie Theatre. Director Kim Strassburger instinctively understands the ever-shifting tone, moods, humor and ugliness of the script and its trio of complex characters are all wonderfully played by Vanessa Dinning, Catalina Maynard and Neil McDonald.The action takes place six months after the disaster in a rustic cottage near the exclusion zone.
Dinning is phenomenal as Hazel, the plain, seemingly placid and devoted wife and mother of four adult children, whose simmering rage reaches the boiling point, quite amusingly, after Rose causes the toilet to overflow. As the calculating Rose, Maynard is a fiery and sharp-eyed enigma who takes her character on a believable journey from selfish to selfless. And as Robin, McDonald appears to be a kind and gentle-natured husband, but there’s an unpredictable mean streak lurking underneath.
