Alecky Blythe's engrossing verbatim play tells the stories of a generation. Created from five years of interviews with twelve young people from across the UK,  Our Generation  is a captivating portrait of their teenage years as they journey into adulthood. Often too extraordinary to be fiction, this funny and moving play is for anyone who is—or has ever been—a teenager. It was co-produced by the National Theatre, London, and Chichester Festival Theatre in 2022, directed by Daniel Evans. Alecky Blythe  founded Recorded Delivery in 2003. The company's first production,  Come Out Eli , premiered at the Arcola Theatre, London, and later transferred to the BAC (winner of the Time Out Award for Best Performance on the Fringe). Recorded Delivery went on to make  All the Right People Come Here  (New Wimbledon Theatre). Alecky has since created  Strawberry Fields  (The Courtyard, Hereford);  Cruising  (Bush Theatre, London);  The Girlfriend Experience  (Royal Court Theatre and Young Vic, London);  I Only Came Here for Six Months  (KVS and Les Halles, Brussels); and  Do We Look Like Refugees?! , a joint project for the National Theatre Studio and the Rustaveli Theatre, Georgia (Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 2010; winner of Fringe First Award). Alecky was one of the writers on  Decade  (Headlong) and co-wrote  Friday Night Sex  with Michael Wynne (Royal Court).  London Road , with music composed by Adam Cork, premiered at the Cottesloe auditorium of the National Theatre in 2011 (winner of Best Musical, Critics’ Circle Awards) and transferred to the Olivier auditorium in 2012.  Little Revolution  premiered at the Almeida Theatre in 2014. For television she has written  A Man in a Box  (IWC and Channel 4);  The Riots: In Their Own Words  (BBC2). For film she has adapted  London Road  into a feature (BBC Film, BFI, National Theatre).
