The Children in the Washington Post

The Children, a play by Lucy Kirkwood featuring set design by Tom Kamm, is receiving attention in the press. The Children opened at the Studio Theatre on May 1st and will run until June 9, 2019.

As Nelson Pressley writes in the Washington Post,

The pleasure of the performance lies in all the little details that accrue in the storytelling, the acting and the design — the practical reason for that healthy-looking salad Hazel tosses, for instance, and the rationale behind those deadly-looking cigarettes Rose puffs. Muse’s cast moves around Tom Kamm’s cottage set with familiar ease, and Kamm and Muse devise a substantial visual surprise to punctuate Kirkwood’s plot. The foible-riddled human scale is Kirkwood’s chief focus here, but her implications land with force.

The play, and Tom Kamm’s set design have also received fantastic reviews from The Georgetown dish (available here) and Broadway World (available here).
