Generation F @ the Edinburgh Fringe

The ThreeWeeks review of Actas Company's Generation F, in one of The Spaces venues:

There's a lot of concern about global warming these days, and the other day I saw a TV programme arguing that sixteen year-olds should have a vote. The nightmare situation of teen voters amid global flooding is the subject of 'Generation F', which imagines a post-Flood world where the aged will be sent to conservation camps. This is a script that really wants to sound informed, edgy and worthy, tackling so big an issue. It comes nowhere near; technically dubious, with a sedate pace and a disastrous mix of mime and props (how hard is it to buy some Tesco cakes in the morning?), F stands for 'fail' rather than 'flood'.

tw rating: 2/5
