About this audiobook
Starring Mark Ruffalo, Josh Hamilton and Missy Yager, the original cast was reunited for this exclusive L.A. Theatre Works performance of This is Our Youth. In 1982, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, three pot-smoking teenagers are resoundingly rejecting the 1960’s ideals of their affluent parents. In hilarious and bittersweet detail, This is Our Youth follows forty-eight turbulent hours in the lives of three very lost souls at the dawn of the Reagan Era.
Includes an interview with playwright Kenneth Lonergan, director Mark Brokaw and the three actors who originated the roles of Warren, Dennis and Jessica – Mark Ruffalo, Josh Hamilton, and Missy Yager.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring:
Mark Ruffalo as Warren
Josh Hamilton as Dennis
Missy Yager as Jessica
Directed by Mark Brokaw. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm not sure this play, about the late Baby Boom as they entered their early adult years, has aged well, but it's an interesting look back on counter culture of the times...or rather, bored rich youth who did drugs and swore a lot to make themselves believe they were part of counterculture. Really, they are just screwed up, and at least semi-aware of their own lack of purpose. They spend a great deal of the play discussing women in misogynistic, objectifying terms, and trying to score a big drug deal to get out of a financial scrape regarding stolen money. It is deeply unpleasant, peopled with characters who are totally impossible to like, but still compelling. As such, it fits firmly in the antihero genre.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Acting was very good - the story was very meh
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mark Ruffalo's acting is on point! I enjoyed the story and to me there are similarities between this play and Death of a Salesman.
