Synopsis
Do you know your all-time, desert-island top 5 most memorable break-ups?

Rob does. In fact, he keeps a list. But Laura isn’t on it – even though she’s just become his latest ex. He’s got his life back, you see. He can just do what he wants when he wants. Run his record shop, look up the girls that are on his list, generally behave as if Laura never mattered, anything…

And yet Rob finds he can’t move on. The needle of his life seems to be stuck in a really deep groove – and it’s called Laura. Before long, he finds himself asking some of the bigger questions: about love, about life – and about why we choose to share ours with the people we do.

Based on the much beloved book by Nick Hornby, GUTS’ rendition of High Fidelity hopes to answer once and for all the question:

What came first? The music or the misery?
