Notes
○ Sisterly Feelings was revived following its short world premiere run during the 1978/79 winter season at the Stephen Joseph Theatre In The Round.
○ This is the first of Alan Ayckbourn's plays to involve an element of chance. In this case, a coin-flip decides between two scene choices followed by the actors deciding a second choice of two scenes.
○ Sisterly Feelings was not presented in-the-round, but three-sided as one side of seating had to be removed to make room for the hill which features so prominently in the play.
