SECOND SUMMER OF LOVE
(The Original Solo Story Version)
by Emmy Happisburgh
Directed by Peter Bramley
Guildford Fringe, July 2022

Pleasance Courtyard, Edinburgh Fringe 2022
An artist devotes himself to helping a bored, rapidly ageing housewife craft a one-woman show celebrating the highs of drug addiction and hedonism. He provides ideas, script development, performance techniques, creative direction, and countless unpaid hours. But when they part ways, she continues to use his work, and his name is nowhere to be seen.
This razor-sharp theatrical exposé delves into the dark side of collaboration, where ego eclipses gratitude, credit is erased, and creative theft parades as charisma.
A biting story of privilege, entitlement, and the corrosive power of narcissism in the world of art and ambition.
“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
“brimming with warmth and energy… Second Summer of Love will leave you uplifted” - EDFRINGE REVIEW
