    Weapons of mass destruction. An existential threat. Betrayal and injustice. We live in hope that we'll never have to experience the effects of nuclear weapons.

    But some of us already have... and they are still dealing with the consequences.

    A Thousand Sons tells the true story of British Nuclear Test veterans in a powerful solo performance that blends action and poetry with verbatim testimony from a forgotten community of nuclear veterans, used and betrayed by those in positions of power. An eye-opening journey from the past to the present, to shine a light on the truth.

    "A stunning play. This powerful and passionate show will make you want to research the subject the moment you leave the theatre."
