Bolan's Shoes
+ Q&A with writer-director Ian Puleston-Davies
Event details
Directed by Ian Puleston-Davies
Starring Timothy Spall, Leanne Best, Mathew Horne, Mark Lewis Jones
Bolan’s Shoes takes us on a tumultuous journey through the height of T. Rex mania in 1970s Liverpool. It captures the heady exhilaration of glam rock mania through the experiences of a group of over-excited kids from a local children’s home before a devastating road accident changes their lives forever.
Years later, and still clinging to the adoration of her childhood idol, survivor Penny takes best friend and fellow Marc Bolan fan, Steffan, to visit his shrine in London, but a chance encounter there catapults her back to the horror she had tried so hard to forget.
