Synopsis

It’s the long hot British summer of 1976 and Viv has left London and her thespian aspirations, to teach drama at the local high school in South Wales. Determined to fire up her hormonal, apathetic teenage charges, she sets about staging a rock musical based on Shakespeare’s [The Tempest] for the school’s yearly show. Battling the summer teenage distractions of love, lust and the local lido, Viv perseveres and rallies the group to express themselves through music and drama. The shy and sensitive Davy shows talent as male lead Ferdinand, but his crush on the beautiful lead actress Stella, brings an unexpected story.
