Genre: | Youth Rock Musical, 1 Act Youth Audience | |||||
| Parts: | Male | 7 | Female | 16 | ||
Parts other: | crowd | |||||
Notes: | This hard-hitting piece provides a fast-moving focus on some of the emotional and practical issues facing teenagers today, examining, with honesty and humour, their relationships with each other and with their parents. It also questions the part played by the media in modern society [is their role merely reporting events or is it more insidious?] before a strange twist in the tail completes the story. | |||||
Synopsis: | Young singer / songwriter Martin Cole's new single reaches the pop charts and he discovers that being successful is not what he expected. Pressure from local radio DJ's, his agent and the advertising moguls closes in on him and on his relationships with his very ordinary family, girl friend and other friends. With an "Elvis-type" spoof of a nightmare, a gaggle of performing Brownies and a chaotic film-set sequence, this piece offers great scope for imagination, versatility and humour. | |||||
