Alecky Blythe's 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, and first performed in the Dorfman auditorium of the National Theatre in February 2022 before transferring to the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in April of that year, in a production directed by Daniel Evans
