Hunky Dory

Set in the summer of 1976 in a small Welsh town, this film follows a passionate drama teacher, played by Minnie Driver, as she attempts to stage a rock-infused version of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” with her disenchanted students. The story captures the challenges and triumphs of both the teacher and her students as they navigate personal and social issues, all set against a backdrop of classic 70s music. Directed by Marc Evans, the film features a nostalgic soundtrack that enhances its coming-of-age narrative. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
