Original raver Louise, wonders how she went from ecstasy-taking, anti-establishment idealist to respectable disillusioned school gate yummy mummy. A solo story of first love, teenage kicks, mother-daughter bonds, raising palms to the skies in fields and the ups and downs of recreational drug-taking. Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award winners Pants on Fire team up with Contentment Productions to present one-woman’s first-hand nostalgic trip through the early ‘90s UK rave scene.

“a charming and highly physical performance which chimes particularly resonantly with those of us of a certain cultural niche; throwing us back to the heady days of tape decks and windy windows in cars, Hubba Bubba and taking ages to snog the boy you fancied.” - Broadway Baby
“Second Summer of Love is a celebration of rave culture in the ‘90s and Happisburgh gives a superb one woman performance” - Lost in Theatreland
“brimming with warmth and energy… Second Summer of Love will leave you uplifted” - EdFringe Review
