Feeling the floor vibrate with bass is the perfect way to start this delight of a show where the combined energy of grime, drill, garage and reggae is matched by the cast of Blaze FM’s incredible lyricism, charm and talent.

Charting the events of the Blaze family as they run a pirate radio station, we travel through time. Beginning in the heady days of Y2K, they experience the events of recent history, including the gentrification of Hackney, rising knife crime, the demonisation of drill rap and the devastation caused by the Windrush scandal.

With superb musicality, the cast perform in a variety of styles: grime, drill and nostalgic 2000’s garage riffs alongside classic reggae, interspersed with a variety of listener calls. But as each of the characters enjoys their own individual genre, they also combine as a unit in shared experience, history and a desire to speak out. From a party atmosphere to the depths of tragedy, the audience experience moments of joy, grief and resilience. Making an enthralling show that successfully transitions from celebratory highs to powerful emotion is a hard thing to pull off, but this piece of political theatre from The Big House receives a standing ovation.

Blaze FM, Pleasance Courtyard, until 25 August, 4.45pm; main picture: The Big House.
