Success Story
by Peter Griffith
 
Sally wants to be as beautiful as the models in advertisements
in magazines - Simon wants to be as confident as the men in
soap-operas - and Phil wants to be as clever as the TV scientists.
All three are in despair!
But then in a dream-sequence the three of them are transported
into a television-world in which their wishes are granted. They find
themselves in the clinic-soap-opera 'Love in White Coats'. Sally
becomes Nurse Sally Shapeley, the most beautiful nurse in the
hospital. Simon becomes Dr. Simon Hunkwell, the romantic
leading male. And Phil becomes Sir Philip Forceps-Prat, the
most brilliant surgeon in the world.
 
A patient is brought into the hospital - it’s a matter of life and
death! But then the dream quickly turns into a nightmare. Do
the three teenagers really want to live in this superficial plastic
world?
 
Success Story is a light-hearted comedy about identity, the
influence of the media on young people’s ideas and ambitions.
