“A disillusioned 23-year-old Jehovah’s Witness breaks free from the controlling cult and lands on the ecstasy fuelled dance floors of 90’s clubland.

Shunned by his family and everyone he knows, he is not prepared for what lies ahead”.

In 1976 Sean’s world changes for ever. Dragged into a doomsday cult, by parents who are struggling to find their own identities, the family are brainwashed into believing the end of the world is nigh.

But the route to salvation is not as it seems…

One Foot In The Rave is the debut verse play from poet and playwright Alexander Rhodes. The story is an energetic mix of agony and total ecstasy, set to a backdrop of club classics which were specially remixed and produced for the play,

Alexander moves effortlessly between the characters and scenes to deliver the chemical highs and pitiful lows of life as an ex-member of a cult.
