This song reminds me of ‘Prime Time’ a play by Nigel Moffatt which was performed at the Haymarket Theatre in 1989 alongside ‘I Put A Spell On You’ in which I had a part.
As I mentioned (Song 17 - I Put A Spell On You) back in 1989, I was a member of the Haymarket Youth Theatre in Leicester. During the course of the year Nigel Moffatt came to work with the group as we tried to devise and write a new play with the ‘Highfields Action Theatre’ who had recently come from presenting their show ‘King’ which was about Martin Luther King and his fight against racism in the US, however as usual thing didn’t go to plan and in the end some of the group presented their devised piece ‘I Put A Spell On You’ and the other half did ‘Prime Time’ by Nigel Moffatt as part of a double bill.
As we were on the same bill I came in after the interval to watch ‘Prime Time’ and see my friends perform. The show opened with this song and I distinctly remember Steve and Ayesha disco dancing in the spotlights as it played. Whenever I hear this song it reminds me of 1989 and this show…
Now listen to the song….
