Notes


○ Due to the original production taking place in the aftermath of the 2021 Covid-19 lockdown, the production featured two socially bubbled companies (Red and Blue Team). If a member of the Red Team received a positive Covid test, then the Blue Team would take over performances. The companies were individually directed by Alan Ayckbourn (Red) and Chelsey Gillard (Blue). The Blue Team also performed in a limited number of shows within the original schedule.
○ Unusually, the play returned to the SJT for 6 performances from 1 - 4 September 2021 before touring to the New Vic, Newcastle-under-Lyme, from 7 - 18 September 2021.
