"Something To Hide" was first produced at the Theatre Royal, Windsor, on February 3rd, 1958, moving to London in April of that year. It was well received by the press, the Times describing it as a "tense melodrama", while the London Evening News labelled it "compulsive theatre". The Daily Mirror said that it "has more twists to it than a stick of barley sugar", and the Worthing Herald (a publication which is surely revered in serious acting circles) said that it is "tense enough to make your hair curl."

Sadly, we appear to have no further information concerning the Fairlight production, so we can only imagine the atmosphere in the village hall.
