This Is Our Youth

Summary

Set on Manhattan’s Upper West Side in 1982, Kenneth Lonergan’s This Is Our Youth follows 48 turbulent hours in the lives of three college-age friends struggling to find their footing on the brink of adulthood. After stealing fifteen thousand dollars from his abusive father, Warren arrives at the apartment of his charismatic and self-destructive friend Dennis. When an intelligent young woman Warren desperately hopes to impress enters the picture, their fragile relationships are tested. By turns hilarious, heartbreaking, and deeply compassionate, the play captures the confusion, longing, and possibility of being young when everything seems within reach and nothing goes according to plan.
