TONY AWARD NOMINATION FOR BEST PLAY
WINNER OF BEST PLAY AT THE 2018 UK WRITERS’ GUILD AWARDS


Robin and Hazel, two nuclear scientists, live a quiet existence in their isolated cottage on the coast.

Yes, electricity is rationed. Yes, radiation fills the air. Yes, it’s safer to leave the house in a hazmat suit. But they are determined to enjoy the retirement they worked so hard for.

That is, until old friend and colleague Rose arrives, bringing with her a past Robin and Hazel had left behind, and a frightening challenge for their future.
