Second Summer of Love
“Whatever happened to Generation X? Weren’t we supposed to change things?”
Original Raver, Louise, wonders how she went from ecstasy-taking idealist to respectable, disillusioned suburban mum.
Triggered by her daughter’s anti-drugs homework, at peak mid-life crisis, Louise flashes back to the emotional happenings of the week before and then further to the early 90’s rave scene.
An uplifting, high-energy, physical theatre story about coming of age, mid-life awakening, raising palms to the skies in fields and the ups and downs of recreational drug-taking.
