Set against the backdrop of hedonistic, swinging, early 60s London, TeIstar shares the stranger-than-fiction true story of Joe Meek (Tony Award-winner Con O'NeilI, who originated the role on London stage). An enormously taIented but quirky maverick, Meek revoIutionized British pop, enjoying enormous success early on with the biggest selling record of its time, TeIstar, the first U.K. album to hit #1 on American charts. But the flamboyant, tone-deaf songwriter was aIso a deepIy troubled souI dabbIing in the occuIt and addicted to amphetamines and his decline was as meteoric and spectacuIar as his rise. AIso starring two-time Academy Award-winner Kevin Spacey (American Beauty, The UsuaI Suspects) and Pam Ferris (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) and featuring an originaI soundtrack. |
