Drama. Musical Queen Elizabeth I travels to late twentieth-century Britain to discover a tawdry and depressing landscape where life mostly seems aimless and is anyway held cheap. Three post-punk girls while away their vacuous existence as best they can, from time-to-time straying into murder to relieve the boredom.

	Media	Author	Review
		Sam Adams Rolling Stone	"It’s like a guerrilla Shakespeare production staged in a mosh pit."
		David Pirie Time Out	"In conception the film remains highly original, and it does deliver enough of the goods to sail effortlessly away with the title of Britain's first official punk movie"
		Variety	"One of the most original, bold, and exciting features to have come out of Britain in the 1970s."
		Kim Newman Empire	"The ideas are good enough for you to allow for some risible performances (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		TV Guide	"Neat and quirky, this is undoubtedly one of the freshest black comedies around."
