Set in England at the height of the Cold War, this story has timeless relevance, especially in light of recent events. Jim and Hilda Bloggs are English retirees, living in their country cottage. War with Russia seems imminent, and Jim starts taking precautions against a nuclear attack.

Nostalgic about World War II, Jim and Hilda staunchly believe that everything will be okay, even if nuclear weapons are involved. But will it?


This powerful, poignant play mixes nonchalance and English laugh-in-the-face-of-danger humour with some incredibly shocking reminders of the effects of nuclear war – funny, terrifying, and emotional all at the same time.

We see flashes of Jim and Hilda's history, the life they had, the simplicity and innocence of their existence and how this is shattered.

 

"A satirical anti-war tale told with humour and pathos.
"Unforgettable theatrical experience..."

- The Times (UK)

 

Directed by David Badger & Ritchie Kendrick, with assistance from Clem Jones.
