					| Description | 
  					Little known about this production. It is referred to as an example of how "safe" the National Theatre scheduling (Shakespeare, comedies, Shaw) was when compared to The Little Theatre and the Arrow Theatre but it was also the year of Death of a Salesman and a new Ray Lawler work. |
