This 1980 Arena documentary profiles writer and performer Victoria Wood and teenage playwright Andrea Dunbar. Wood is seen, alongside Julie Walters, during rehearsals for Wood's stage play Good Fun at the Sheffield Crucible and the film explores her talent to amuse through her witty and engaging songs. The film also looks at Dunbar, as her first play, The Arbor, written when she was only 15, was running at the Royal Court.
Directed by Nigel Williams
