<p>A Maxim Gorky classic play, adapted by Andrew Upton, is a deep and philosophically driven piece set during a cholera epidemic, which works on many significant levels.</p>

<p>On the surface its comedic approach could be mistaken as a light hearted play, but below the surface lies a distinct feeling of danger - a narrative of fear which is explored through many conversations.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Protasov is longing to find the answer to all of life's mysteries through scientific experimentation and research. He believes that the quest of life will be answered through science so he becomes immersed in his own ignorance; failing to acknowledge the significance of what is happening around him.</p>
<p></p>
<p>There is a superb collective of talent in this adaptation, with strong gestural performances and moments of intensity which breaks up the performance, constantly focussing it back to the deeper questions.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The stage set is the perfect backbone to the story, with a commendable attention to detail and realistic nature which helps one to engage on an additional level. Indeed the National Theatre is one of my all time favourite destinations, with its strong Brutalist architecture just asking for performance and drama. This is exactly what is delivered with 'Children of the Sun'. A though-provoking and engaging play, highly recommended.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Treat yourself to some theatre this month at the National Theatre. Tickets range from £12-34 and Children of the Sun is on until Sunday 14th July 2013.</p>
