Life is easy - good even. But things went wrong around 97. and Michael hasn't looked back - well he can't really and he's not sure if he'll see them again. as we move into the next millenium, we find out just what happened here

Directed by NYT's artistic Director Paul Roseby, 'Our Days of Rage', is written in response to the uprisings across North Africa, the Middle east and Middle england and staged over the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Ten years on from 9/11, a generation of actors and writers brought up on fear will mark this anniversary with an urgent response to the unfolding Drama in North Africa, the Middle east and Middle england. UK students try their hand at anarchy while young arabs fight for the right to protest and are willing to die for their cause. From an arab Spring to another UK Winter of Discontent; the latest battle in the war on terror is coming to a department store near you.
