Spaniel In The Works Theatre Company

Robert Tressell's classic work The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists provides the inspiration for a new piece of theatre exploring "austerity Britain" - Nothing Changes.

Set in 21st century Britain, the play follows the lives of a group of painters and decorators trying to survive. At the heart of the story is Ruth, a single mother and apprentice, trying to find a better life for her family.

Nothing Changes highlights the truths behind the headlines - zero hour contracts, foodbanks, immigration, bedroom tax and benefit sanctions. Featuring songs by the Housemartins, Stiff Little Fingers and The The, this emotional and sometimes humorous work shows how after 100 years, nothing has changed.

Audience comments:

"A vital piece of theatre that needs to be seen by everyone."
"A timely update boldly done - poignant and relevant."
"Brilliant adaptation."
"An acerbic and sometimes desperately sad commentary on the state of our nation."
