					| Description | 
  					The team organising the Middlemarch Singles Ball has a problem - past events have been so successful that there are no single farmers left in the area. With all the tickets sold to women, the committee must attract some men - even if the only males available are from Auckland. Problem: how to train them to impersonate local farmers. |

					| Further Information | 
					
					
					The play had apparently been given one performance in Middlemarch, just before the last ball, but this Globe production was the first full theatrical production. (Star).
