A psychological thriller first performed by the Priory in the late 1970's to great acclaim, The Children of the Wolf is described as a modern horror story.
Robin and Linda are 21 year old twins who are given up for adoption shortly after birth. Having traced their biological mother, Helena, they lure her to an 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.
This was a dark, engrossing play with an intensely shocking end.
