AUDIENCE WORKS
<forever young first presented at Traverse Theatre Edinburgh, August 2015.
Where did that youthful idealism go? Those outrageous, brilliant, or just plain silly ideas you had of how the world could become a better place?
Go one-to-one with a reclining chair, a team of adolescent experts, and an outdoor foolhardy adventure. All there to probe the current pulse of your idealism lost or found…
Forever Young is a teenage adventure for grown-ups.
A solo journey where you are never alone - always in the midst of a whirlwind of teen action, whirling you from place to place, throughout the city and through your memories, dreams, hopes and losses.
Part research, part rehabilitation and part playful tumble over our supposed wisdom, scars, cynicism and reckless dreaming. An encounter with your teenage self that you will never forget (no matter how hard you try).
What Reviewers Are Saying :
has all the adrenaline-charged thrill of teenage love. ...it's also a journey into the self, and there are some fascinating moments when the spectacle of the city and the spectacle of yourself meet and spark in interesting ways.
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
a teenage joyride into rediscovering the child within
Neil Cooper, Herald Scotland
‘Forever Young’ is a beautiful reminder that teenagers are complex beings ...and that it’s best to keep a little bit of that young idealism and rebellion with you
Time Out, Edinburgh
this rich encounter, in a familiar landscape made strange and beautiful by their presence and perspective
