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'.
