Ă propos de ce livre
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 â or has ever been â a teenager.
It was co-produced by the National Theatre, London, and Chichester Festival Theatre in 2022, directed by Daniel Evans.

Music plays. The other eleven youngsters enter and join IERUM. As they dance to the music vigorously a projection on the back wall reads, âTwelve teenagers interviewed over five years, in their own words.â A second projection reads âTheir names have been changed to protect their identities.â The music fades to a low level as ANNABELLA starts talking.
ANNABELLA. God is angry with the terrorism out in the world. I just, I know it and, I really and â I really, I hate to say but I do think that we will be part of the apocalypse.
LUAN. You hear my name everywhere, everyoneâs just talking about me, everyoneâs excited (Claps his hands.) about me. Yeah my dad, my dad, my dad was so proud I could just see, he was so proud. All my family members were like, âI put my name, our naâ our family name on the map.â
ROBYN. We didnât go away this year. Ah â we just had to â we had to buy a boiler this year (Laughing.) so itâs either a boiler or a holiday so (Laughing.) we got a boiler.
TAYLOR. My dad started crying when he found out I was on the twenty-threes team, âeah. (Laughs.) I was there laughing at him, itâs funny. To me itâs just a team. Like playing for the local team.
MIA. Iâve stopped going out, Iâve got no friends, Iâve got no life. Iâve got no friends left.
EMILY. If, Iâve never, I never go anywhere. Iâm quite stressed out at the moment. (Laughs.) So Iâve got Biology block test tomorrow basically on everything weâve learnt this year. And I know absolutely nothing.
ZAC. Last week I had, I had, what was it, six concerts in five days? Iâve been finding it really hard to get into festive spirit cos everyoneâs like âyouâve got all these pre-limsâ and not â theyâre not even important but theyâre like, theyâre your first exams so like âahhhâ and you got all the concerts âyaahhhâ.
CALLUM. Cos Iâm not like a, Iâm not a fighter it sounds weird cos I wanna be a wrestler but Iâm not like a fighter yâknow, oh I donât take pain very well.
AYESHA. Celebrities are like a big part of my life because Iâve always wanted to become one.

1.1.3. Switched
A projection on the back wall reads, âIERUM, South London.â
IERUMâs school.
IERUM. I switched, um, friends groups. Er, Iâm hanging more round with Sienna, cos like, Siennaâs a quiet girl and she hangs around with, like, people like Amy and Charity and theyâre, like, quiet people. And then, yeah cos of that, I think that if I continue hanging round with her then I will get myself into less trouble. I just think that itâll be better for me cos when Iâm with the other group I tend to get â I tend to find myself in a sticky situation sometimes but when Iâm with the group that Siennaâs in everyfingâs like all calm⊠yeah. Wâ like, th-thereâs nothing exciting thatâs really going sort fâ really exciting, so ânâ it kinda bores me. But I canât go back to the other group, and also I canât be lonely.
Sometimes I doubt myself because of my colour. I â I just donât think Iâd fit in. Iâm the only black girl who actually tried to attempt this. Iâm, Iâm, like, trying to copy them so Iâm trying to become like them. So what I do, what they usually do, is they sit down and they talk quietly, and they, like, laugh poshly. So then thatâs what I do too; I sit down, talk quietly anâ laugh poshly: âha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haâ. Yeah somefing like that!
I just feel like if I get close to Sienna, cos I donât really have my phone she has her phone all the time sheâs on Instagram and stuff. And I donât really have Instagram and all them apps, um, because my phone isnât, like, an Apple phone, and whatnot. I canât just suddenly tell her that my parents made a rule that Iâm only allowed on my phones on Saturdays and Sundays. (Sighing.) I donât know, mean like, children these days are pretty different. (Pause.) Yeah. W-weâre very different. It makes me feel, like, ohh, w-why canât I ever be like them?
