MUST SEE THEATER : “THE CHILDREN”
No kidding– THE CHILDREN
is among the best plays and productions I’ve ever seen in Boston. In
the shadow of a looming pandemic, Lucy Kirkwood’s acutely timely
Tony-nominated play is now onstage in a masterful production at
SpeakEasy Stage. It is a divinely-acted, eerily relevant work that first
gets under your skin, then leaves you standing back questioning what
you owe life itself. Three of our best acting veterans bring every last
bit of their artistry and chemistry to an intimate stage and we are
fused to our seats as we try to figure out where these characters and
ultimately ourselves are headed.

The play begins and ends in a shaft of light; at first, the light comes
up on a woman named Rose, bleeding in a kitchen. Karen MacDonald as Rose
has just paid a surprise visit to her friend Hazel played by Paula
Plum. Their accents and the sound of the sea tell us we’re somewhere on
the coast of England. Rose’s accent comes and goes, and it may be
because, as we gradually learn, she’s spent time abroad in America; she
hasn’t seen Hazel her former colleague in almost 40 years. They once
worked together as nuclear physicists in a power plant nearby. There’s
tension as well as blood in the air of this run-down cottage, and it’s
Kirkwood’s plan to unwrap what’s going on in layers, with accumulating
power.
