The Rotters Club Synopsis
Based on the novel by Jonathan Coe, The Rotters’ Club is a rollicking coming-of-age tale, following aspiring musician Benjamin Trotter and his three best friends as they grow up in the turbulent Midlands of the mid-70s, and find their adult identities during a decade of political activism and social unrest. Fundamentally concerned with getting their prog-rock band off the ground and finally learning some skills to woo the fairer sex, The Rotter’s Club is a hilarious and socially aware journey through adolescence.
