Funny? Yes
Emotional? Yes
Sweet? Yes
So, all creams and no hard centres?
No, we’ve got hard centres too. These are tough talking little plays dealing with the hard things in life with humour and resilience worthy of the best generation ever, the mighty Generation Zed!
Boob tape and hormones,
protest and pre-loading,
toxic mums and culture war trolls,
repairshop, bicep curls and polar ice . . .
a kaleidoscopic view of now!
Voices of Generation Zed is for a general audience, and we recommend aged 12+. It contains strong language. No flashing lights or sudden loud noises. No nudity. The show is about 70 minutes long. No interval.
