Only one week to go until we open at the Queen Mother Theatre!
Salad Days is filled with humour and memorable characters, all affected by 'Minnie' the piano 'that makes you dance'. Julian Slade and Dorothy Reynolds wrote Salad Days as a summer musical
for the Bristol Old Vic's resident company. It opened in June 1954 at the Theatre Royal,
Bristol, and proved so popular it moved to the Vaudeville Theatre,
London, where it run for over 5 years. At the time it was the longest
running musical in the history of the British Theatre. Containing all
the optimism of the 50’s, the show bubbles with fun, song
and dance and quick-fire humour.

If you've never seen Salad Days here is a brief outline of the plot to whet your appetite:
Jane and Timothy are friends who meet up after graduation to plan their
lives. Not sure what to do next and also not sure if they are actually
in love, but hopeful that they will be, they decide to get married in
secret. Jane’s parents are desperate for her to marry someone suitable
and Timothy’s parents want him to ask each of his four influential
uncles for a job. But Jane and Timothy decide that having solved the
marriage question, Timothy should solve the job one by taking the first
offer to come along. Fate can’t resist an opportunity and a passing
tramp offers them £7 a week to look after his piano for a month while he
has a holiday, but the piano has a secret - when it is played it gives
everyone within earshot an irresistible desire to dance!
