Achingly bittersweet its hard to imagine any way Hunky Dory could get much better! Heartfelt interpretations of Seventies rock are only part of the appeal of this nostalgia-drenched high school drama. - The Hollywood Reporter

Charming a Welsh blend of Glee and School of Rock, with a great soundtrack. -The Daily Mirror

Audiences will be swept up as the greatest high school band in the history of music perform a selection of impeccable hits. -The List

DIRECTED BY - Marc Evans STARRING - Minnie Driver (Grosse Pointe Blank, Good Will Hunting), Aneurin Barnard (Citadel, Spring Awakening)

SYNOPSIS - Relive the summer of 1976 in this heartwarming British musical from the producer of Billy Elliot. Minnie Driver plays Viv, a fiery high school drama teacher determined to fire up her hormonal, apathetic students by putting on the best end-of-the-year show the school has ever seen a glam rock-infused musical version of Shakespeares The Tempest. But as the Welsh summer begins to heat up, can she compete with the typical teenage distractions of sex and drugs with some great rock and roll? Find out in this fantastic, rousing film- but remove all fears of the typical teen-pop covered high school musicals from your minds, as the songs in this film are from legendary artists like David Bowie, The Beach Boys, ELO, and The Byrds.

Filmed in Port Talbot and Swansea - the school scenes are at Bishop Gore Comprehensive - formerly Swansea Grammar School where Dylan Thomas went to school (but in the older buildings in Mount Pleasant - the school moved here in 1954 even though it was built before the second World War). Great south Wales advert - not as funny as Twin Town though!
