The Rotters' Club is a story about a group of Birmingham teenagers and their families set against a backdrop of the class conflict, racial tension, strike action - not to mention Blue Nun, prog-rock and black forest gateau - which was the social and political landscape of Seventies Britain.
Much more than just a rites of passage tale, The Rotters' Club is a blend of the personal and the political, a coming-of-age drama that takes in everything from industrial disputes to the delights and confusion of first love.
