This is Our Youth at Northwestern University

Kenneth Lonergan's funny, compassionate and powerful work is a living snapshot of the moment between adolescence and adulthood when many young people first go out into the world on their own, armed only with the ideas and techniques they developed as teenagers. In meticulous and hilarious detail, This Is Our Youth follows forty-eight turbulent hours in the lives of three very lost young souls in the big city in 1982 at the dawn of the Reagan Era. Lonergan examines the lives of three privileged teenagers in 1980's Manhattan's Upper West Side - when and where an abundance of worldly knowledge proves no substitute for familial affection.
