This ballet tells the story of Jim (Paris Fitzpatrick), a Mod with nowhere to go in life, his only constants are amphetamines and Mod culture. His father (Stuart Neal) is a broken man, unable to overcome his wartime memories; his mother (Kate Tydman) is disinterested, escaping into her gin. Jim meets up with other Mods at dances, always hoping to be noticed by the Ace Face (Dan Baines). Girls, also expertly styled as Mods, just come to hang out.

Pete Townshend has a to die for creative team the haute couture designer Paul Smith on costume, set designer Christopher Oram and director Rob Ashford.  Choreographer (Paul Roberts) is very well known in music performance circles,  he has created a wonderful experience, getting the best from all of the dancers. Director Rob Ashford has a long list of choreographing and directing award winning productions. Set Designer (Christopher Oram) uses the back screen, together with a large hanging side screen, to change scenes almost instantly and very effectively.

One of the strengths of the ballet is its short, well-danced scenes performed by various cast members that keep the story moving. Jim has an old friend (Evan Garrett) who is now a Rocker; they meet on a park bench and dance together in a series of interesting, interlinking movements.
