"Spangled"

My latest reviewing assignment for British Theatre Guide was to go and see “Spangled” by Mercury Theatre Wales at Chapter; a devised play inspired by the rave scene of the 1990s. Based around the kind of music I tend to avoid, but rather enjoyable, and cleverly done, despite some technical issues and a few (justifiable) clichés. And I got the chance to dig out an old quote by Malcolm McLaren about discotheques being “temples of despair and loneliness”.
