“Extraordinary and surreal”

“It’s an exaggerated, absurdist space of juxtaposition and dream logic – funny and sad.”

Exeunt
“It is an agony to watch, and I mean that as the biggest compliment.”
Lyn Gardner
The Kids Are Alright is a film shot on location in a local housing estate, in Deptford, London.
Filmed over one evening and in one take, this is a uniquely intimate perormance about the grief of unexpectedly losing a child. It invites you to watch one broken couple explode from their home. And they couldn’t care less who's watching.
Co-commissioned by Fuel and The Place
Supported by The Albany, Camden People’s Theatre, Northern Stage and Wandsworth Council.
The project is funded by Arts Council England, Wellcome Trust and the Peggy Ramsay Foundation.
