Second Summer of Love

by Emmy Happisburgh

“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.

Emmy Happisburgh is a writer, performer and co-founder of Contentment Productions; SECOND SUMMER OF LOVE is the first professional play she has devised/written.
