The Rising Generation

What our readers say

What is it like reading this play now?

“The Rising Generation” is a play that, while containing dated language, aligns with works like “The Handmaid’s Tale” in its central focus on empowering women.

What does it tell us about the past and the present? 

“The Rising Generation” satirises the patriarchy, shedding light on the entrenched societal norms of the past, especially those from the 60s. By highlighting how little has changed in terms of societal expectations, it tells us that the struggles faced in the past persist today. The play serves as a poignant reminder that history’s lessons are often echoed in the present, and that the journey towards equality and breaking free from restrictive norms is still ongoing.
