About This Production

This production was the second of our 100th year, and we felt that the title of the play could not have been more appropriate. Did any of the cast match their am-dram characters in real life? We couldn't possibly comment.

Peter Brown requested a double-ended programme that doubled as a SBADS/Stratford Players document. As an 'Easter egg', the links in the programme to the fictitious Stratford Players and their equally fictitious sponsor Bell Ales led to specially created websites.
