Notes
○ Halfway To Heaven was presented in a double bill with Alas, Poor Fred.
○ The playwright, Hilda Valentine, was apparently in her 80s when Stephen Joseph 'discovered' her and presented Halfway To Heaven. If this is true, this would make her one of the oldest playwrights to have work premiered by the Scarborough company.
○ Halfway To Heaven was presented without an interval.
