This Is Our Youth: Broadway Edition, Paperback

Descriere

""This Is Our Youth,"" Kenneth Lonergan s lacerating look at affluent young Manhattanites of the 1980s, depicts two days in the lives of three college-age Upper West Siders who are from wealthy families but living in doped-up squalor. Dennis with a famous painter father and social activist mother is a small-time drug dealer and total mess. His hero-worshipping friend Warren has just impulsively stolen $15, 000 from his father, an abusive lingerie tycoon. When Jessica, a mixed-up prep school girl, shows up for a date, Warren pulls out a wad of bills and takes her off, awkwardly, for a night of seduction. A wildly funny, bittersweet, and moving story, ""This Is Our Youth ""is as trenchant as it was upon its acclaimed premiere in 1996.""
