Synopsis

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.
