| Set in 1982 at the dawn of the regan era, Kenneth Lonergan's first play depicts 48 hours in the lives of Dennis, Warren and Jessica - three rich and bored middle-class teenagers from New Yorks Upper West Side. Caught up in the new yuppie culture (for which money, power and success are all), they have stolen $15,000 from their parents without much of an idea of what to do with it. So, without a care for the consequences, they blow it all on a reckless, hedonistic spending spree! This is our Youth is a tragicomic portrayal of youth on the brink of adulthood and reveals the ache at the heart of the slacker generation. CAST Matt Damon (Dennis) lept to fame with the oscar winning Good Will Hunting alongside friend Ben Affleck. He has since gone on to star in many major films including Saving Private Ryan, The Talented Mr Ripley, Dogma and Oceans Eleven. Casey Affleck (Warren) is rapidly following in brother Ben's footsteps as one of hollywoods hottest young stars with his lead roles in Oceans Eleven, opposite George Clooney, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt, and in Soul Survivors. Summer Pheonix (Jessica), the latest star to emerge from her famous family is currently enjoying enormous success with Dinner Rush and the Cannes hit Esther Kahn. |
