A 70’s GLAM ROCK MUSICAL
Written by Mike Bennett

Set in the cartoon-like world of Glamsville, Blok Busta is a new musical featuring smash hits from seventies glam rock artists such as Bowie, Sweet, Roxy Music, Slade, Hello, Alice Cooper, The Rubettes, Mud and many more!
The action begins on the streets of Glamsville where a murderer known simply as Busta has begun terrorising the community. Disguised in a flowing cloak and a colourful studded gimp mask this evil ‘psycho-killer’ has begun murdering women with long black hair, for whom he seems to bear an unseemly grudge.
When the wheelchair-bound Chief Inspector Stone announces that Busta’s weapon of choice is disco music it sends shockwaves right through the heart of the Glamsville community. After all, not only is disco music a banned substance, its effects are known to be deadly to anyone unlucky enough to be exposed to its murderous qualities.
Stone announces his personal mission to ensnare the fiend, for Busta’s first victim Alice was his next door neighbour for some twenty four years. During a speech delivered at the local glam nightclub, Devilgate Drive, he implores ‘All The Young Dudes’ to be extra vigilant when returning home at night. When he adds that Busta’s victims tend to have long black hair, an ex-pupil from Glamsville High, Delila, is particularly frightened.
Seeing Delila’s anxiety, Stone attempts to appease her by offering twenty-four-hour police surveillance. Unfortunately for Delila the Inspector’s promise is futile, as the longhaired beauty becomes Busta’s next victim, when she is bumped off by a particularly insidious slice of ‘D.I.S.C.O.’
It’s not long before Busta strikes again. This time his unsuspecting victim is subjected to at least forty eight bars of the gut wrenching disco anthem ‘That’s the Way I like It’. However, his intended victim, Virginia Plain, manages to fight him off and immediately contacts Inspector Stone and his assistant Jean Jeanie.
Who could the killer be? Could it be Hellraiser, the owner of Devilgate Drive? In his time he’s been intimate with all the victims. Perhaps having been forced by his girlfriend Tiger Feet to break off his relationship with these beauties, he simply couldn't bear the thought of anyone else sharing their beds. Or did Tiger Feet herself go on a ‘Teenage Rampage’ and murder her love rivals, whilst adopting the cunning disguise of Busta. Or could Busta be the local cross-dresser and known disco addict, Aladdin Pain? Known to be a troubled young man, Pain becomes the major suspect - on his sensational arrest he breaks down and confesses to being Busta. |
