Description Nerds were heroes in 1980s pop culture films, and in this new work by Windmill Theatre (The Wizard of Oz, Clockwork Forest), they reign supreme once again. A sell-out at the 2012 Adelaide Festival, School Dance mashes together BMX heroics, Smurfs and power ballads to create some gloriously goofy and – for those with long memories – achingly real comedy. Set in the special kind of hell that is the school dance, it follows three awkward teens on their hormone-fuelled quest for social acceptability.
