Donald Jenkins: Still Raving In Yours 40’s?
From old skool to old bastard, Donald Jenkins has been addicted to the rave scene’s sweaty underbelly for over thirty years.
Still Raving in Your 40s? mixes music, dramatic monologue and spoken word poetry to ask, should middle age stop you from being a raving reprobate?
Come on a fascinating journey through the most epic musical movement of the British underground.
This is the journey of illegal all-nighters, Class A drugs and never ending after parties.
The spoken-word show is a funny, lyrical and highly relatable enactment of the fascinating, grimey world of rave culture.
Jenkins explores how this 30-year obsession has affected him physically, mentally and financially. Isn’t it time he grew up and packed it all in?
Jenkins has performed throughout the UK including at Glastonbury Festival and the Royal Albert Hall. His work has been featured on ITV.
Still Raving In Yours 40s? was developed through a residency with Newcastle’s Alphabetti Theatre.
