Description

The worlds changin, we dont have to just make do anymore. Theres stuff out there, theres life, theres people and experiencin somethin meaningful. California, Arry, Woodstock, out on the road like a rollin bloody stone, its Dylan, Arry, thats who I want to be. Yer seriously think Im goin to stick round here. Modern life isn't easy and it never has been. This explosive play by Leo Butler transports us through time, looking at what happens when the next generation begin to find their feet in an ever-changing world. Through a kaleidoscope of characters, we see tensions rocket and values crumble, exposing the best and worst of what it means to be human. This epic roller coaster of a play combines euphoria and despair as different generations of young people ask the same question: where do we go from here Decades received its world premiere at Ovalhouse, London, on 7 June 2016 in a production by Brit School for Performing Arts and Technology.
