Well I just had the pleasure of going to a 40th anniversary party for this show, which was a very successful Oxford University student production that got transferred to Straford and then the Lodon West End. The show was about capital punishment. It was ground-breaking in some ways, and unusually took the sounds of the 60's folk club scene onto the West end stage. It also kick started the careers of a couple of Monty Pythons, and various other people including myself(I wrote a few songs and supplied and arranged some trad songs).
   Anyway, my rason for posting is this. You do wonder what effect your work has,sometimes. I would love to know if anyone here actually saw the show, and has any memories of it? (It was also produced elsewhere with different casts).
