Due to the Success of Sequinned Suits and the desire of students at my school to use this as a GCSE production I have created a short version which is ideal for use at GCSE level. Loads of opportunities for set and costume ideas as well as an array of roles to play. In 2005 and 2006 series of exams it has led to candidates achieving perfect marks in the main roles in the two performances of this play. It is a play that is unusually upbeat for a GCSE scripted piece and seems to appeal to examiners who often remember the period themselves!

All other details are as for Sequinned Suits and Platform Boots.

"If you were to step into a book entitled "Glam Rock", your feet would land in the essence of Mark Wheeller's mind - it would contain poems of vibrant costumes/footwear, short stories of quirky humour, and some pretty dodgy songs about Monks! This play has been a catalyst for a pandemic... Mark Wheeller's passion spreading into the entire cast. Every person, rehearsal and joke has been a page in this book which is now all of our lives, and every page I have turned since has bought with it lessons that can be neither taught nor forgotten."
