Overview
Synopsis
Ten years after the Tutsi genocide, the president of Rwanda announces the releasing of the killers. With a mix of fear and admiration, Vincent, Innocent, and Bosco, who were born in the bloody aftermath, prepare to meet the men who gave them life. Children of Killers explores what children do with a legacy of violence and the haunting aftermath of genocide. Will they follow in their father’s footsteps or can they resist the weight of hatred? This one-act play by Katori Hall is an excellent showcase for young actors.
