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 a glam rock musical version of Shakespeare's The Tempest of which David Bowie would be proud.[4] To engage her students, she uses hits of the time, performed by a fresh young cast led by Davey (Aneurin Barnard).[5]
