Description
Winner of the 2021 Platform Presents Playwright's Prize. Nuclear Children, written by Ezra England, directed by Seán Linnen, is a dark comedy about mental health, a submarine accident and a melon. Following the death of her father Isla is struggling to cope; plagued with intrusive thoughts and her deteriorating mental health, she runs away to university in the hope of staying sane. As Isla finally begins to find her feet, her world, quite literally, stops making sense. Jenna Coleman says of the play, 'A stunningly gifted writer who chimed straight into my heart with such a startling debut'.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

I really enjoyed this show, Ezra was so engaging throughout. She managed to portray mental health issues in a really unique way and her storytelling skills conjured up incredible imagery, I felt like I was watching multiple actors at times. Fantastic.
