Written by Ben Elton as a tribute to the late Freddie Mercury, it is based on the idea of a world dominated by media and technology, where the current generation are controlled in thought and expression, where live music and creativity is a threat to an almighty marketing machine. Despite the premise of this being a dystopian future, it’s a reflection of society today and our dependence on the internet, influencers, celebrity and the battle for freedom of expression, individuality and creativity!
