This Is Our Children, Kenneth Lonergan’s lacerating check out affluent young Manhattanites of the 1980s, depicts two times in the lives of three college-age Upper Western Siders who are from wealthy families but moving into doped-up squalor. Dennis—with a famous painter father and communal activist mom—is a small-time medication supplier and total chaos. His hero-worshipping friend Warren has just impulsively stolen $15,000 from his father, an abusive lingerie tycoon. When Jessica, a mixed-up prep school girl, turns up for a date, Warren pulls out a wad of charges and calls for her off, awkwardly, for a nights seduction. A wildly funny, bittersweet, and moving story, This Is Our Children is as trenchant as it was after its acclaimed premiere in 1996.
