1967. Kenneth and Sandra know the world is changing. And they want some
of it.
Love, Love, Love takes on the baby boomer generation as it retires,
and finds it full of trouble. Smoking, drinking, affectionate and
paranoid, one couple journeys forty-years from initial burst to full
bloom. The play follows their idealistic teenage years in the 1960s to
their stint as a married family unit before finally divorced and,
although disintegrated, free from acrimony. Their children, on the other
hand, bitterly rail against their parents' irresponsibility and their
relaxed, laissez-faire attitude.
This play by Olivier award-winning writer Mike Bartlett questions
whether the baby boomer generation is to blame for the debt-ridden and
adrift generation of their children, now adults but far from stable and
settled.
This edition features an introduction by James Grieve, who directed
Love, Love, Love at the Royal Court, London.
