Quadrophenia B2B Rock 'n' Roll High School
The Beverly Theater

Two slices of punk and mod rebellion share the screen at The Beverly Theater for this back-to-back double feature. Quadrophenia, the gritty 1979 film built around The Who's rock opera, follows a young mod navigating scooters, pills, and identity crisis in 1960s Brighton, all set to one of rock's most ambitious soundtracks. Paired with Rock 'n' Roll High School, the gleefully anarchic Ramones-fueled comedy about a rock-obsessed teen determined to bring down her uptight high school, the pairing makes for a night that swings from moody British subculture to loud, irreverent American teen rebellion.

Watching these two side by side inside the Beverly's intimate 150-seat theater, with its sharp acoustics, means catching both the soundtrack swells and the dialogue crackle in a way that feels closer to how these films were meant to be experienced. It's a night for anyone who grew up loving The Who or the Ramones, or for younger film buffs curious about where a lot of punk and mod aesthetics trace their roots.
