Notes
○ The Birds And The Well-Wishers marked the first time Alan Ayckbourn and his second wife Heather Stoney acted together in the same production.
○ The Birds And The Well-Wishers was presented as part of a William Norfolk double-bill with Nine Floors, Not Counting The Mezzanine. It was not originally advertised as a double-bill with Nine Floors... being a late addition to the programme.
