Anthem for Dissatisfaction

A high-energy story following life growing up in a working-class environment in austerity Britain.
The Credit Crunch, 2007. ‘Irish Twins’ Sarah and Jamie are growing up in Belfast with a shared obsession of music and the weight of parents on the breadline. Pop, rock and punk rails against austerity Britain and an ever-failing Tory government, giving these siblings an epic score to navigate lives that are destined for different paths.

This event takes place at the Old Library in Newbury.
