Russia is threatening world peace; a new and terrifying disease is unleashed; Apple launches groundbreaking technology and environmental disasters are headline news. Yes, it’s 1984.
In the year that literature coined keeping a diary as the ultimate ‘thought crime’, a diva-in-waiting then aged 13, started one. A frenzy of wholesome activities; roller-skating, riding ponies and singing practice starkly contrast with Cointreau-fuelled midnight feasts and relentless pursuit of lush boys as our heroine turns from adorable child to revolting teenager.
Based on her podcast of the same name, DivaLicious singer and comedian Penny Shaw explores her tumultuous teenage years through the iconic soundtrack of Gen-X's coming of age; Queen, Madonna, The Cure, Chess - The Musical and more! Soak up the timeless allure of the early 80s when hair was big and dreams were even bigger…
