Twenty Minutes South, seen in London in 1955, may well be the archetypal British musical of its period. With music by Peter Greenwell, composer of the legendary British musical The Crooked Mile (also available from Must Close Saturday Records) this take of love and misunderstandings in London’s suburbia has a zestful, snappy score. The show is about the boys and girls who travel up to London from the suburbs on the train each day to work in offices and at 5.27 go back on the train to the suburbs to home and boyfriends and girlfriends and tennis and dances at the local community centre. All seems well until interfering Cousin kitty (Daphne Anderson) comes to stay, and life twenty minutes South is never quite the same again. A real retro delight, Greenwell’s score is preserved in this original cast recording, with linking dialogue.

With: Daphne Anderson, Louie Ramsay, Robin Hunter, Donald Scott
