It’s 1966, and times are not so much changing, as starting to change. Steve Bury is in limbo between school and university, and is on a steep learning curve on love, life, drama and the way the adult world works. Steve has ended up at a local college while applying to university. The story revolves around temporary jobs on the beach, and in a bizarre museum where all the other staff are in their 60s. Then there’s a misguided student drama production of ‘Richard III’ which his new wealthy girlfriend lures him into joining. He’s experiencing the generation gap (the generation before him is still living in the 1950s), the gender gap, and also the class gap, with a girlfriend and people so much better off than him. The story mixes comedy and romance, tinged with background tragedy. It’s also meticulously researched on the factual background and music of 1966.
