Blair's Children
Five London writers - April de Angelis, Georgia Fitch, Anders Lustgarten, Mark Norfolk and Paula B Stanic - have created a new and confronting play that recalls the Blair era and addresses its legacy. Running for three weeks from 5th June, at 8.30pm, Blair's Children is being directed by Charlotte Westenra
Inspired by the legendary 1970s production Kennedy’s Children by Robert Patrick, Blair’s Children has five characters in a London coffee shop reveal how the Blair era impacted the lives of a generation. Blair’s Children is the first piece to be commissioned by The Cockpit as part of its Theatre of Ideas programme, which seeks to nurture theatre of contemporary critique as a revitalization of the radical tradition of the London Fringe.
Twin Ticket deal for Don't Wake Me and Blair's Children!
Running alongside Blair's Children, we have the spellbinding Don't Wake Me - The Ballad of Nihal Armstrong (7pm, 3-22 June). TV and stage actor JAYE GRIFFITHS (Silent Witness, Coronation Street, Criminal Justice, Bugs), who describes this as the ‘the biggest challenge of her career’, performs the dramatic and moving story of a mother’s tireless battles and inspiring triumphs in her struggle for her disabled son’s rights. It is a story of prejudice and ignorance, victories, loss, grief and joy.
"A beautifully constructed piece that relives this mother-son relationship with a heart-aching sense of authenticity." Four Stars, London Evening Standard
