Richard Wade, Natasha Starkenburg, Robyn Bensch and Timothy Mayers bring Children of the Wolf to life.
Not-so-nice twins on stage There are only a few performances of Children of the Wolf left at Milnerton Playhouse. This tense and thought-provoking psychological drama is written by John Peacock and directed by Bruce Sanderson. Children of the Wolf tells the story of twins Linda and Robin, who on their 21st birthday, lure their mother, who abandoned them at birth after an unsuccessful and damaging attempt at abortion, to the now, deserted home of her lover, their father. They then begin the macabre demolition of their mother against the background question of whether her lover still loves her
or not. The twins are played by Robyn Bensch and Timothy Mayers, who won “Best Actor” at the Milly Awards for his role in The Bus. Their mother is brought to life by Natasha Starkenburg, while Richard Wade makes a brief appearance as her lover. V Children of the Wolf will be staged at the Milnerton Playhouse tonight, Thursday and Saturday at 20:00 with a matinee performance on Saturday at 14:00.
