Seaside Special is a genuine, funny and bittersweet documentary about the trials and tribulations of life on the stage and the divided political perspectives of their community. The director Jens Meurer seeks to show a ‘microcosm of Brexit England’ and reflects on the impact of the changing tourist landscape, alongside the cultural importance of Cromer’s show, as they prepare for their grande summer finale.
