Description

Two plays from one of Britain's most challenging dramatists. Both are set in a late-21st-century post-apocalyptic landscape where human behaviour is monitored, living spaces are designated and any emotional displays are eradicated. In "The Children" a teenager's unquestioning loyalty to his mother has fatal consequences, while in "Have I None" a couple's lives are irrevocably changed by the appearance of a disturbing stranger who questions their existence.
