Devisers Pete Brooks and John Miller reclaim the form's simple but effective attributes in Brooks's co-production with Bob Eaton. Eaton is a safe pair of hands, having defined the rock and roll musical while running Liverpool's Everyman Theatre, but it is nevertheless significant that there is no writer's credit in what amounts to a strip cartoon summation of church-going teenager Anna Mae Bullock's rise, fall and subsequent reinvention in what is now regarded as Turner's 1980s heyday.
