Archives - Salad Days

by Dorothy Reynolds and Julian Slade

Directed by Beth Maxwell

Wednesday 3rd – Saturday 13th January 1973 in the Auditorium

The freshness and gaiety of Salad Days and its beautifully singable songs made it an instant hit. Set in the early 50’s, it is the story of two young people who, after coming down from University, find themselves in charge of a piano… one that is different. No-one can listen to it without dancing.
