Edinburgh Preview 2025: Anthem For Dissatisfaction

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. 

Winner of the Solas Nua Award at the Dublin Fringe Festival 2024.

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