Life Would be Pretty Dull Without Sex, Raves and MDMA
Winners of the 2025 Keeping it Fringe Edinburgh Award. Bex Wall is bringing her 'Powerhouse' show to Brighton
Sex? Yes please. Raves? Absolutely MDMA? Just a dabble.
Relive the power of 90s raves Featuring iconic tracks by dance legends Orbital, this play takes the audience on a hilarious deep-dive into Bex’s world....
Bex is a woman in her 40's struggling with life's expectations in a twist of fate she rejects safe and abandons herself to life. Consequences be damned she embraces a reality that’s messing exhilarating, cruel and wild.
Be prepared to be moved by the beat, embrace pumping bodies and welcome that baseline in with this highly personal yet universal play.
This story comes from somewhere real, says Bex Wall. It’s about the weird, unspoken places grief takes us—and how music, madness and human connection can carry us through.
Bex’s stories are unhinged, unfiltered and bloody hilarious. - says Phil Hartnoll, Orbital
