AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A fly-on-the-wall mockumentary about the tears, tantrums and tiaras in the world of competitive dance eisteddfods. Amidst petty politics and creative controversy, RAZZLE DAZZLE delves into the lives of three stage mothers and their relationships with the dance school, each other and their children.'

Notes

  • Various news reports at the time of the film's release indicated that it was 'based on a short story by Carolyn Wilson' (see, for example, 'Backstage Mums on Show'), but the story's publication (if any) has not so far been traced.
