This is Our Youth
About the event
Lunatix Theatre is proud to present Kenneth Lonergan's acclaimed contemporary classic This is Our Youth at Melbourne's iconic Fortyfivedownstairs, directed by Maeve Hook (Never Closer).
Set in 1982 on Manhattan's Upper West Side, This is Our Youth follows three young people caught between adolescence and adulthood. As stolen money, unspoken desires, and uncertain futures collide, the play captures the exhilarating chaos of growing up with remarkable honesty, humour and emotional precision.
With Lonergan's signature blend of razor-sharp dialogue and profound emotional insight, This is Our Youth remains as relevant today as when it first premiered, speaking to the anxieties, aspirations, and contradictions of a generation searching for identity and connection in a rapidly changing world.
