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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition features an introduction by James Grieve, who directed \u003ci\u003eLove, Love, Love\u003c\/i\u003e at the Royal Court, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMike Barlett\u003c\/b\u003e's debut, \u003ci\u003eMy Child \u003c\/i\u003e(Royal Court, May 2007) saw him hailed by The Stage as 'one of the most exciting new talents to emerge in recent times'.
