Observations

Douanes was produced at least a year earlier – I know of a performance on 3 November 1932. Why don’t you do some research? Search The Times! Instead of just banging down information casually.

Thanks for your observation; please do be polite in contributions. This site consists of contributions of what people know; that doesn’t make it incorrect, just lacking the full amount of information. If you know of other performances, please feel free to contribute your data to the site.

From consulting “The London Stage 1930–1939: A Calendar of Productions, Performers, and Personnel”, I see this production of Douanes is listed at Sadler’s Wells on 11^th October 1932, 13^th October (m), 25^th October, 3^rd November (m), 15^th November, 24^th January 1933, 7^th March, 28^th March, and 2^nd May. (And at the Old Vic on 19^th October 1932 (m), 28^th November, 30^th November (m), and 20^th February 1933).

It then returned (perhaps a different production?) on 3^rd October 1933, 24^th October 1933, 19^th December 1933, 27^th February 1934 and 19^th March 1934.
