| Publisher Description: Each of these three plays captures a moment in three different eras when music and pop culture turned New Zealand upside down. In Blue Sky Boys, the Beatles rock the town hall, while the down-on-their-luck Everly Brothers thrash out their artistic and personal differences with a trio of New Zealand teens. In John, I'm Only Dancing, a subversive music teacher tears down 1970s macho school culture with David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust." In Waterloo Sunset, a band of Wellington punks clash with ex-pat English mods, each fighting to find a future in the 1980s as their youth runs out. |
