Reviewer Quotes
“ A haunting contemplation of war's unseen legacies ”
Los Angeles Times
“ Exquisite...tender and wistful ”
Orange County Register
Nelson’s play is a lyrically rich portrait of four siblings coming to terms with the profound effect that war has had on their young lives. Just before the Blitz began on London in 1940, hundreds of thousands of parents sent their children to safety throughout Britain and across the Atlantic. Desperate to reclaim their lost youth, the siblings are flooded with unresolved childhood longings which haunt them in the most unexpected ways.
Note: Goodnight Children Everywhere contains mature situations that may not be appropriate for all audiences.
