Notes
○ I Have Been Here Before was one of the plays presented during Studio Theatre Ltd's inaugural winter season at Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre, Scarborough. As the Concert Room was not available, it was performed in the large lecture room on the first floor of the library in an elongated 'round' layout.
○ The brochure for the winter season at the Library Theatre, Scarborough, indicates the first night of I Have Been Here Before was 10 December, however a special preview to launch the winter season for an invited audience was held on 9 December.
○ This is believed to be the first professional in-the-round production of I Have Been here Before in the UK.
