Children Of The Wolf

Written by John Peacock.

This darkly atmospheric play is set in an attic in a deserted house. The play opens with two young people waiting for someone to arrive. We learn that Robin and Linda are 21-year-old twins, whom we subsequently discover were given up for adoption shortly after birth.

Having traced their biological mother, Helena, they lure her to the abandoned house on the pretext that she will be meeting Michael, her former lover. Here the twins reveal their identity to Helena, taunting her with sinister re-enactments of her past. Eventually she is forced to confess the true circumstances of her children’s birth.
