Second Summer Of Love

Contentment Productions presents “SECOND SUMMER OF LOVE”

Original raver, Louise, wonders how she went from ecstasy-taking idealist to respectable, disillusioned, suburban mum…?

An uplifting, high-energy, physical-theatre story about coming of age and mid-life recovery. 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.
