“A compelling and emotionally charged watch… both plays are highly enjoyable”
- JACK THE LAD MAGAZINE

Following its celebrated award-winning sell-out run in 2021, GENERATION GAMES returns to the White Bear Theatre from 11th - 22nd April 2023. Originally titled GAY GENERATIONS, the acclaimed double-bill of gay-themed comedy dramas has been revised and features a sensational cast.

Both plays portray the differences of perspective, the insecurities and the simple misunderstandings, sometimes heartbreaking, often hilarious, between men who grew up in different eras with different expectations and values.

A Certain Term is written by Michael McManus, writer of the sell-out smash hit political radio play 'Maggie & Ted' (Garrick Theatre and Yvonne Arnaud Theatre) and 'An Honourable Man' (White Bear Theatre) and stars Simon Stallard, recently nominated for Off-West End Awards for Best Male Performance ('Kes') and Best Male in a Supporting Role ('Different From the Others') and Luke McGibney who received an award nomination from Midlands Royal Television Society for Best Actor in award-winning British indie film 'Remora'.

“Endearing, funny, feel good, profound” - LOUISE JAMESON

The second play, I F____N’ LOVE YOU, is written by and stars Charlie Ross MacKenzie, well-known stand-up comedian, writer, broadcaster and a presenter on BBC Radio Scotland. Charlie is joined on stage by Joe Ashman – also in A CERTAIN TERM ('Our House'; 'Rent'; and Netflix Original Emmy award-winning series 'Free Rein').

An unmissable double bill of witty, sharp and poignant new writing, performed by a dazzling cast.

“It’s definitely a 10 from me” - ROBIN WINDSOR, professional "Strictly" dancer
