Notes
○ This production marked the British premiere of Tardieu's Office Of Information; adapted by John Vickers from La Guichet.
○ Office Of Information was presented as part of an evening called Three One Act Plays. It also featured the plays The Disguises Of Arlecchino by Clifford Williams and Call The Selkie Home by Eleanor D Glaser.
○ The evening was originally advertised as a double-bill with Office Of Information being a late addition due to Stephen Joseph considering the evening was running too short.
○ This was the first play presented at Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre which was a production of an existing play. All prior productions had been new commissions for the company.
