"What Girls Are Made Of" (Spiegeltent)

The true story of early 90s indie band Darlingheart's not-quite-rise to fame as told and sung by then-17 year old now 40-something frontwoman Cora Bissett. Good-natured, energetically performed (including by the three other musician / channelers of many other characters) with enjoyable 90s colour and music, and the impressions of Radiohead and Blur - both of whom they supported back in the day - were fun. Not substantial at all though, the aspects to do with her parents and daughter notwithstanding, albeit with an extra layer thanks to its being all true.
