| From the producer of Billy Elliot comes this funny, coming of age film featuring songs from artists as diverse as David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Dusty Springfield and Electric Light Orchestra. In the heat of the summer of 1976, keen drama teacher Vivienne fights sweltering heat and general teenage apathy to put on an end of year music version of Shakespeare's The Tempest. To engage her students, she uses hits of the time, which will be performed by a fresh young cast led by rising star Aneurin Barnard. All credits go to original film makers, Independent Films, Directed by MARC EVANS (My Little Eye, Snow Cake, Patagonia) Screenplay by LAURENCE CORIAT (Wonderland, Genova, Me Without You) Produced by DAN LIPOVITZ (Death Defying Acts, Good, Simpatico) and JON FINN (Billy Elliot) Starring MINNIE DRIVER (Good Will Hunting, Barney's Version, Conviction) and ANEURIN BARNARD (Ironclad, Laurence Olivier Award for Spring Awakening) Production Company Mulligan and Nesbitt |
