No Kids is much more than a play. It’s an argument, a discussion, a life decision

The play is written, directed and performed by Nir Paldi and George Mann who, as solo artists, have given audiences some of the most imaginative and provocative theatre in recent years. A rare collaboration between them demands attention and No Kids does not disappoint.
