An English Angst is a drama, set against the backdrop of the UK EU referendum.

Charlotte has built a life and career for herself in Frankfurt. She runs her own radio station, TransEURadio, but after 10 years on air the listener figures have been dropping and a British consultant promises to put the station “back on the right path”. However, their paths have crossed before and Charlotte is now forced to deal with past events. Then, as the referendum results roll in, suddenly her place in Europe is put into question. She feels abandoned by her own country. Once again.

An English Angst is an original script by Anna Rogers. The British vote to leave the EU was a shock for the world. It was a particular shock for Britons living across the EU. It is a shock for Charlotte. What next for Europe? The UK? For TransEURadio? For Charlotte?

I watched and enjoyed the show and your performances. You established a believable tenssion between you with a great sense for timing when to build or dissolve the tenssion.

The story stirred quite a lot the memories I have from when the final Brexit results were given. And the final words of the play were indeed heartbreaking.

Thank you for a very entertaining evening. Loved the play! There was so much there that touched personal background – being a European who only has a British passport through history. Well done and thank you.

Really enjoyed the play. Not only the historical Brexit events but also the relationship between the two characters and the “future” vision. Productionwise I loved how the voices were integrated, how the flash backs were done and the music

Wir fanden es super!!! Wir hätten auch noch länger zu gesehen😊!!! Wir haben uns gedanklich ins Foyer gesetzt und haben noch mehr als 1,5h telefoniert, bevor wir “nach Hause gefahren” sind. Es war wirklich ein schöner Abend!! Und es ist etwas anderes als Fernsehen!

I really enjoyed ‘An English Angst’, congratulations to ….. all the cast and technical team on putting it on. I thought the whole production was very impressive, …. I really enjoyed the way in which you tied together the past history between the two characters together with contemporary events and the dialogue between the two main characters was very natural and enjoyable.
