“It’s difficult to find a hero, When they’re all off their heads …”
Crumie, a runaway from Cork, looking for adventure.
Gosger, a lost soul, who drifts from party to party.
Charlie, a student doctor, who gets queasy at the sight of blood.
Biscuit, still numb from the death of his mother, he searches for hope.
“My blood races, All through my body, Spreading happiness to places, in my mind, BODY, and soul, that’s where I want to go… I can feel it in me, pumping faster And Faster, Base loving, TECHNO. Oh here it comes, We’re ready to go. He takes away the beats…and we flow…Bliss! Magical maladies. Make us reach to the sky. I FEEL SO GOOD. I feel so good! Makes me smile, All loved up. Head rushing. Body mushed. Everything is great. Living the moment, Hugs to a stranger. Kisses to a babe. Beat teasing D.J. Bring back the beats…”
Set in the mid 1990’s, around the rave culture in Ireland, as we follow the lives of four teenagers wherever they may be, over a weekend of drug fuelled debauchery on this lyrically rhythmic roller coaster ride of ecstasy. A play about the 90’s for the 21st century, combining the best of Electronica, laser light shows, dance, with mouth popping dialogue, and comedic and dramatic performances that will have you on the edge of your seat, all mixed together in a poetic cocktail that will titillate all your senses.
