Description

Rising playwright Lucy Kirkwood presents her first Broadway play, set in a postapocalyptic Britain following a power station meltdown that changed the world. Retired nuclear engineers Hazel and Robin are living out their retirement in seclusion in their coastal cottage. But things change when their old friend Rose arrives at their doorstep, and it’s clear she’s not simply making a social call. Will Hazel and Robin join her on her quest to revive the world around them for future generations, or will they commit to self-preservation and stay holed up in their home?
