Go on tour with a Monkees tribute band and observe the interactions between the characters, the state of the nation and the cost of petrol. Clever use is made of video footage in unison with simultaneous live action, giving the whole show multi dimensions.
With a name like 'A' what's a girl to do? She is a musician touring with her best pal Dave who is the singer in the band.  When Catherine, a replacement vocalist, arrives everything changes, she goes out with Dave causing 'A' to redefine her life.  Whilst on tour they are stalked by the Butler, a mysterious master (or mistress) of disguise.
Will they survive the end of the world? Will we ever hear them sing a Monkees classic?   Go see the show to find out.
The four performers all work well together and the twists in the plot are interesting. Personally I'd have liked more Monkees music, otherwise this is a good show well written and performed.
