   Original production by John Dexter and William Gaskill at Chichester Festival Theatre on July 6^th 1965.

   We saw this play in Chichester. Most plays we saw then seemed to have Robert Stephens! Most abiding recollection is of the audience being unable or unwilling to understand the cod pseudo Scots. We loved laughing at the bawdy bits. I found the theatre itself interesting after the Assembly Hall in Edinburgh Festivals

3. On 17^th December 2020 at 11:50 a.m., Peter_S noted:

   As a most memorable moment, I’d have to cite the classic exchange between Albert Finney’s Armstrong and The Lady (clearly “attached” to Sir David Lindsay of the Mount) and deliciously played by Geraldine McEwen. The context was that Johnny Armstrong took it on himself to proposition The Lady , and was coolly rebuffed. Here, please, do your imaginative best with Scottish accents. NOW, as scripted – JOHNNY (incredulous) But yoor a Hoor ! LADY : Not yoor Hoor. Game, set and match to the Lady.
