Gerhard Herbert Kretschmar is born in Germany in 1939. 156 days later he is murdered, becoming the first child to die as part of the Nazis forced euthanasia program. Today HE and SHE are having their first baby. The antenatal screening shows that something is not as expected… Kinder K is a play which brings together two stories about human dignity.

“Treat your politicians like you’d treat your children. Don’t let them get away with murder.” The award-winning team of Imploding Fictions and Darren Lerigo bring you absurd jokes, contrived randomness and a message from the Gods in This Is Your Government Speaking, a new work – part theatre, part stand-up comedy – which asks what the difference is between truth and belief…
