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.
Oasis, The Jam, Springsteen and Sam Fender songs scream at the state of the nation, tugging at the memories of what it means to grow up on benefits in a country where poverty became a punchline. Benefits Britain never sounded so good…
A defiant “rip-roaring tour de force” fuelled by the music and people who speak to your soul and punch you in the gut. This multi-award-winning gig-theatre show
rejoices in working class strength with wit, integrity, and disarming honesty.
