The Children by Lucy Kirkwood, directed by Catherine Hannon.
After a major disaster at a nuclear power plant, Hazel and Robin, nuclear engineers, have retreated to their remote coastal cottage, seeking to re-establish some kind of normal life. Out of the blue, Rose, a fellow scientist whom they haven’t seen for years, turns up. Has she come to rekindle old relationships or is she hiding some darker motive? “Sly, gripping, darkly funny…This is sci-fi kitted out with real people, real dilemmas, real scope.” –The Times “Grips compulsively…Genuinely disturbing…Leaves you an abundance of ideas on which to ruminate.” –Guardian Nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play, winner of U.K. Writer’s Guild Award for Best New Play. In 2019, writers for The Guardian placed The Children third on a list of the greatest theatrical works since 2000. Cast: ROSE – Ruthie Tilston HAZEL – Erin Malin ROBIN – Simon Easterman

A New Chapter for CLT! Strategic Plan 2026–2030
Courtenay Little Theatre has adopted its 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, and it’s an exciting step forward for CLT and our community!
The plan focuses on what matters most right now: securing a long-term home and performing space, expanding opportunities to make and experience theatre, growing training and skills, strengthening marketing and fundraising, and building a more diverse, engaged, and connected CLT community.
This plan comes to life through people getting involved — members, volunteers, artists, audiences, donors, and partners all playing a part.
There are many ways to join in! To learn more about the plan or to get involved with a committee, contact info@courtenaylittletheatre.com
