Anthem for Dissatisfaction
Plays/Drama · Drama New Writing · Suitable for ages 16+
"Don’t Look Back in Anger" could be the tag line of SkelpieLimmer Productions’ bold and unashamedly loud play Anthem for Dissatisfaction by playwright Gina Donnelly. Jamie and Sarah, two Irish, Irish-twins (born in the same year but not the same day), are living their best lives in Belfast. They share a room, a love of music and two parents, barely scraping by. As we witness their life move through school and university years into adulthood, you quickly realise this isn’t a play telling us the story of two siblings growing up; this is a protest piece screaming about the state of the nation and the unfairness that the world can throw at us. Set to a soundtrack of Oasis, Bruce Springsteen and Sam Fender, we watch as the two best pals find a way to fend for themselves and forge a route through the grief and misery life throws at them, standing strong together and standing up for what they believe in—even when the chips are down.
