Fatboy Slim
This Autumn sees acid house culture celebrated in the theatre in a totally unique, ground-breaking show hosted by Kirk Field, author of the award-winning, best-selling book ‘RAVE NEW WORLD: confessions of a raving reporter’. Plus special guest appearance from Danny Rampling, who helped shape the scene.
Rave New World: Acid House Cabaret offers a strobe down memory lane to a simpler time, with tales of revolution, acid-house storytelling, socio-cultural commentary laced with humour, musical mischief, big screen shenanigans, and an exhibition of the rarest flyers in the foyer from the leading flyer artists of the era to mark the 35th anniversary of the 1989 acid house hysteria.
Discover the true identity of DJ Roofrack, play ‘Rave Family Fortunes’ and, ‘Have I Got Acid House News for You?’, discover the real words to your favourite 90’s dance anthems, and spin the song wheel of steel to choose the last choon of the night.
