Plot
Set in a Welsh comprehensive school during the long hot summer of 1976, keen drama teacher Vivienne (Minnie Driver) fights sweltering heat and general teenage apathy to put on an end of year rock and roll musical version of Shakespeare's The Tempest, that David Bowie would be proud of.[4] To engage her students, she uses hits of the time, performed by a fresh young cast led by Davey (Aneurin Barnard).[5]
