The Son

Hes not like he was before. Believe me. I dont know whats happened, but something has. Hes changed. He . . . And Im wondering if . . . To be absolutely honest with you . . . Im even wondering if . . .

Nicolas, just two years ago a smiling boy, is going through a difficult phase after his parents divorce. Hes listless, skipping classes, lying. He believes moving in with his father and his new family may help. And a different school, a fresh start. When he doesnt feel comfortable there, when he senses he isnt wanted, he decides that going back to his mothers may be the answer. But at some point, options are going to dry up. And then what?

Im telling you. I dont understand whats happening to me.

Florian Zellers The Son forms the final part in a trilogy with The Mother and The Father, all of which are translated by Christopher Hampton. The Son premieres at the Kiln Theatre, London, in February 2019.
