Jarrott Productions is pleased to announce the cast of its next production, Lucy Kirkwood’s THE CHILDREN. The play premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 2016, and moved to Broadway in late 2017. It received two 2018 Tony Award nominations, including Best Play. In the play, two retired nuclear scientists are living in an isolated cottage by the sea as the world around them crumbles when an old friend arrives with a frightening request.
