Each of these three plays captures a moment in three different eras when music and pop culture turned New Zealand upside down. In <em>Blue Sky Boys</em>, 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 <em>John, I'm Only Dancing</em>, a subversive music teacher tears down 1970s macho school culture with David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust.” In <em>Waterloo Sunset</em>, 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.
