It seems that this production was a panic in more ways than one. For reasons that are not clear, two of the original cast members dropped out just a week before the performance was due to be staged (a case of artistic temperament, or perhaps a clash of personalities?). However, Richard Herrington stepped into one of the leading roles at the last minute, while Roland Garrad, who was also directing the production, covered the remaining role, losing his trousers (see below) in the process. Since I do not know the background, it would be unfair to name the two "drop-outs", so that, I am afraid, must be left to speculation.
