An epic coming-of-age drama that’s too extraordinary to be fiction.
Alecky Blythe follows the success of London Road with her astonishing new verbatim play that tells the stories of a generation.
Created from five years of interviews with 12 young people from across the UK, Our Generation is a captivating portrait of their 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.
Making his directorial debut at the National Theatre, Daniel Evans leads the team in this co-production with Chichester Festival Theatre.
