THE summer’s here and Salad Days are coming to Ledbury’s Market Theatre, thanks to the Ledbury Amateur Dramatic Society.

The show was written by Julian Slade and Dorothy Reynolds in 1954 as a summer musical for the Theatre Royal Bristol. It transferred to the West End, running for 2283 performances to become the longest-running musical theatre show of its day.

Jane and Timothy meet in a park after their graduation to plan their lives. They agree to get married secretly and decide that Timothy must take the first job that he is offered. A passing tramp offers them £7 a week to look after his mobile piano for a month and they discover that it gives everyone within earshot an irresistible desire to dance.

“Timothy’s parents, however, want him to find a proper job with one of his influential uncles.”

The show will run from June 13 to June 16.
