The London debut of multi-award-winning playwright Michael Healey, one of Canada's leading dramatists.

Following six sell-out performances at the Finborough Theatre in August 2009, the European premiere of Generous - winner of the Dora Mavor Moore Award (Canada's leading theatre awards) for Best New Play 2007 - opens as part of the [new year, new plays season 2010], celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Finborough Theatre.

What happens when someone is overwhelmed with the desire to help?

A minority government is on the verge of collapse; a ruthless oil executive tells the truth to a reporter; an effusive young law clerk engages in an excruciating post-coital chat with an aging judge; and a spectacular battle wages over a bucket of fried chicken. Through four interconnected stories, Michael Healey questions the idea of the selfless act. Politically-charged, sharply-written and hilarious, Generous is a tour-de-force from one of Canada's most successful playwrights.
