Notes
○ Unusually, the programme for Hay Fever does not specifically credit the director of the production. It is likely however that it was the theatre's Director Of Productions (Artistic Director) for the season, Rodney Wood.
○ The 1968 summer season is unique in the company's history in that none of the acting company had ever worked at Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre before and none of them would rejoin the company in subsequent years.○ This is believed to be the first professional in-the-round production of Hay Fever in the UK.
