Alice Nutter

Alice Nutter’s brilliant stage play My Generation has opened to rave reviews at the West Yorkshire Playhouse, where it runs until 26th October.
Cath believes the personal is political. Mick agrees, but he’s got much more important things to do with his time than the washing up. The kids, Ben and Emma are less concerned about the class war than they are about having to wear second hand jumpers to school.
Set in Leeds, My Generation is the story of a family and a city through 40 years of alternative culture. From the fear, tension and radical feminism of Leeds during the Yorkshire Ripper, the disillusionment of the Miners’ Strike, the drug fuelled hedonism of the 90s and finally the instability and possibilities created by today’s economic crisis.
**** “An excellent night at the theatre” – Jonathan Brown, The Independent
“Brilliant, anarchically fun production which seems self-aware and innocent all at once […]The acting is of seriously high quality from the whole cast and, with Max Webster at the helm, this is as vigorously a directed piece of theatre as you are likely to see” – Nick Aham, Yorkshire Post
“A spirited romp through the past four decades of highlights […] Held together by a witty script, a wonderfully energetic cast and a great decade-spanning soundtrack, which is largely supplied by a great live band” – Hannah Giles, WhatsOnStage
