| Further Information |
The production received a return season which toured centres in northern NSW. This was made possible by a direct grant from the state government then led by Neville Wran QC MP. The grant was noted in the programme by Artistic Director Murray Foy as 'a vote of confidence in our work. Such a grant implies more than a tacit approval of the Regional Theatre movement in this state.'
