Review

Notting Hill, 1969 and Ray is the editor of 'Mouth' – an underground magazine, based on the famous 'Oz' publication. He produces the magazine with Jill and Alex. Hugo appears to work there but his creative input is limited to childlike sketches. Ray is a deeply committed hippy but is completely unable to do anything – his idea to stage a giant protest ends in him and Alex campaigning for world peace at a sandpaper exhibition. Alex is laconic, posh, well educated and always seems too well dressed and clean to be a hippy. Jill is a completely confused feminist who has an 'open' relationship with Ray (as neither has been able to find someone else).
Despite not sharing the house, they live a 'Young Ones' existence there, decorating it with CND logos and posters of Che Guevara – no doubt to inspire them in their important and 'life changing' work.
