Anthem For Dissatisfaction

Project Arts Centre, Thursday 24th July - Saturday 26th July

Irish Twins Sarah and Jamie are about to hit 30. But before they do, they’re reliving their greatest hits; ‘Credit crunch’, ‘Austerity’ and ‘Free School Meals’… Benefits Britain never sounded so good! And in 2023 everything’s going wrong again, the bills keep going up and the opportunities keep going down.

Sarah and Jamie aren’t two kids in one bedroom anymore, the future is uncertain and there’s only so long you can hang on to the past.

A euphoric, working-class celebration of the power of live music, teenage angst, sibling rivalry and love in this electric and hilarious, coming-of-age anthem for anyone who ever wanted more.

Produced by SkelpieLimmer Productions in association with Brassneck Theatre Company. Written by Gina Donnelly. Directed by Tony Devlin and Gina Donnelly. Starring Simon Sweeney and Emily Lamey.
