★★★★ 

Magnificent verbatim account of teenage life will steal your heart, rendered with immaculate observation by a brilliantly charismatic cast in Daniel Evans’s production. Most heartening of all is the way this magnificent project honours the period of youth it captures on stage: a time of energy, passion, warmth and humour. Blythe’s methods tell the teenagers’ stories from their own perspectives and treats them as the people they are – not the ones adults hope them to become

Guardian

★★★★ 

A frank, fond tribute to the agony and ecstasy of generation Snapchat. When the acting is as good as it is here the result is a thrilling suspension of disbelief; we’re aware of the artifice but also experience it as authentic

Telegraph

★★★★ 

Alecky Blythe’s dazzling verbatim play is a beautiful and funny journey through 12 young people’s lives. The dialogue in this extraordinary state-of-the-nation play is comic gold dust. But ‘Our Generation’ is much more than just funny. It’s eye-opening, generous and brilliantly inventive. There’s not one character who you don’t feel like giving a big hug at some point

Time Out

★★★★ 

The standing ovation was as much for Daniel Evans’s superbly drilled ensemble cast playing kids and teens and teachers, as for the plucky spirits they represent. A valuable, vivid documentary of our times

Daily Mail

★★★★ 

Alecky Blythe’s extraordinary new verbatim play shines a light on a generation in Daniel Evans’s rich, gutsy production, told by a splendid ensemble. Fascinating and funny

Evening Standard

★★★★ 

Wise, beguiling, hilarious and gut-punchingly moving: a living portrait of adolescence, in all its overwhelming intensity. And in Daniel Evans’s gorgeously tender, beautifully acted production, what’s most absorbing is the detail. Vicki Mortimer’s set and Zoe Spurr’s lighting divide and transform the stage space as we hopscotch between narratives, with rods of white light mimicking the electric fizz of the cast’s energy

The i

★★★★ 

Director Daniel Evans has conjured an extraordinary show from this extraordinary material. we grow to love these kids, fear for them, celebrate with them, laugh and cry with them - so much so, that we'd go back tomorrow for another four hours or so to see what happens next. A unique theatrical experience

Broadway World

★★★★★

A triumphant time capsule of a play. An honest, heartfelt snapshot of the teenage experience, as told by them. Endearingly funny

Culture Whisper

★★★★ 

An astonishing and lively account of the thoughts, feelings and experiences of a diverse group of people in their own words, impressively helmed by director Daniel Evans
