| Synopsis: | *Festival Award Winner & Writing Award Winner* As played by adults, Gloria, Ted, and Cindy are beastly children. Spoiled, sullen, brutal - they are trapped in a childhood subject to whim and the casual cruelty of their parents. Embroiled in resentment, Mother and Father can not see the damage they do. The conflict erupts during a family day out in the park. Pushed beyond endurance, the children act. Bitingly funny and truly shocking, "The Children`s Act" will cause many a complacent parent to squirm in recognition. The easily realised set and finely drawn characters make this thought-provoking play an ideal choice for either Festival or Fringe production. | |||||
