A Slice of Saturday Night, by The Heather Brothers, Directed by Keith Gledhill

A Slice of Saturday Night is a musical with book, lyrics and music by The

Heather Brothers: Lea, Neil, Charles and John. The songs are a nostalgic

pastiche of 1960s music, and the story tells a tale of teenage dreams and

young love “set around 1964 in a nightclub called the Club-a-Go-Go”.

Seven teenagers dance and eye each other and flirt on a Saturday night at

popular Club in a town in the British provinces. Sue is going out with Gary,

but he flirts with Penny and the other girls at every opportunity. Sharon and

Rick like each other but are too shy to tell each other. Eddie fancies Bridget

who doesn’t fancy anyone. The owner of the club, ageing rocker Eric

“Rubber-legs” De Vene, watches and lends an ear to the young people as

they navigate the rituals of teenage fashion, music, and relationships.
