An uplifting, high-energy, physical-theatre story about coming of age and mid-life recovery, plus after-show talk with Kirk Field.
Original raver, Louise, wonders how she went from ecstasy-taking idealist to respectable, disillusioned, home counties mum.
Second Summer of Love was inspired by STERNS nightclub in Worthing.
Written by Emmy Happisburgh, Directed by Scott Le Crass, Co-produced by Lucy Wylie, Performed by Emmy Happisburgh, Rosa Strudwick and Christopher Freestone.
Originally developed in collaboration with Pants on Fire and showcased at the Shorts Festival 2020.
The UK’s premier rave raconteur Kirk Field will be our special guest – spinning laser-tinged yarns and acid house anecdotes from his award winning books ‘rave new world’ and ‘planes, trains & amphetamines*’.
Part stand up, part storytelling, part history lesson: rave new world live! will appeal to anyone who lost themselves in the lasers in the 90s (or can’t quite remember losing themselves in the lasers in the 90s…).*Signed copies available
After “Second Summer of Love” there will be a short interval to grab a drink at the bar and then settle in for more rave-based entertainment. Two fringe shows for the price of one!
