An English Angst

a political comedy drama

June 2016: Charlotte’s radio station is celebrating its 10 year anniversary, but her joy is short-lived as present circumstances and personal history conspire against her. And the Brexit referendum looms…

Feedback from audience

What an amazing show! Congratulations to the leading ladies!

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.

An English Angst is a multi-media, political comedy drama, set against the backdrop of the UK EU referendum.

Like many British people living in the EU, Charlotte has built a life for herself as a Briton and European. Now settled in Frankfurt, she has founded and runs TransEURadio, an EU-wide radio station whose mission is to build communication lines, and a sense of community, across Europe. Then Brexit happens. Suddenly her place in Europe is gone. And she’s left feeling abandoned by her own country. What next for Europe? For TransEURadio? For Charlotte?

An English Angst is an original script by Anna Rogers. This performance is the theatre premiere, regrettably, played to an empty auditorium – all but a sparse film and production crew. It was produced under strict covid regulations in early 2021. Prior to filming cast and crew were tested and practised distancing throughout.

Live performances are planned early 2022 in Frankfurt, Germany. Please contact us if you would like to see An English Angst live in your European city.
