Getting On
David Tarsh has strong views about what 'being at
Cambridge' is all about. It includes throwing dinner parties in his splendid rooms, attending May Balls, and in general having a jolly good time. David is reading law and doing badly. As he prepares for his speech at the Union in favour of private education, his reliance on native wit and college sherry becomes increasingly apparent. Mary Browning is a Glaswegian feminist who is reading Russian. While David is donning his dinner-jacket, Mary is mustering support for an all-night CND demonstration outside an airforce base. Both Mary and David are to prove, though in their very different ways, that 'getting on' is partly what Cambridge is about.... Photography ALEX HANSEN Sound JOHN PRITCHARD
