Our Generation

To be honest with you, before I went secondary school I thought that the kids they would be like really mature and like by the time I reached Year Ten Id be fully mature and everything. And Id lose my like funsense and stuff... But, I dont know if its just my class in particular but we really havent matured at all... I dont want to be the serious adult and have serious children and have serious future in a serious house and serious everything.

Alecky Blythes engrossing verbatim play tells the stories of a generation. Created from five years of interviews with twelve young people from across the UK, Our Generation is a captivating portrait of their teenage years as they journey into adulthood.

Often too extraordinary to be fiction, this funny and moving play is for anyone who is – or has ever been – a teenager.

It was co-produced by the National Theatre, London, and Chichester Festival Theatre in 2022, directed by Daniel Evans.
