#TheSonAtTheChesil

"He's not like he was before. I don't know what's happened... but something has. He's changed."

In the past few years, Nicolas has changed. Once a happy, thriving young man, since his parents’ divorce he has become listless, locking himself away, skipping classes and lying. Moving back in with his father (alongside his father’s new wife and a baby brother), Nicolas struggles to know where he belongs, finding that love is not always enough to heal invisible wounds.
 
Running time 90 minutes, no interval.
Please note: The Son deals with issues surrounding mental health in teenagers and contains scenes that some audience members may find upsetting or disturbing.
After-show Talkback after each performance.
 
The Son is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd
