Comment
In the summer of 1976 a teacher (Minnie Driver) in Wales fights against her staff (Robert Pugh, Hayden Gwynne) and pupils to put on an end of the year musical production of The Tempest. Minnie Driver is good as the liberal drama teacher coming up against the stereotypes and prejudices of the mid 1970's. The film is helped by a good sound track and performances for the young cast. A good example of British independent film making that captures the feel of the mid 1970's. .
