Notes
○ Out Of Thin Air was a triple bill of short plays by three playwrights consisting of See The Pretty Lights by Alan Plater, The Governor's Lady by David Mercer and The Day Dumbfounded Got His Pylon by Henry Livings.
○ This marked the first premiere of a play by famed northern playwright Alan Plater with See The Pretty Lights at Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre, Scarborough.
○ The Governor's Lady and The Day Dumbfounded Got His Pylon featured a special guest appearance for this triple bill only of Eileen Derbyshire - better known as Emily Bishop (nee Nugent) in the long-running British television soap opera Coronation Street.
