Notes: The character descriptions are correct in programmes for performances in 1937-1939 and from 2004, but in revivals from 1940/41 to 1989, they contain mistakes. The word 'one' dropped out of the Four Guests's description; it should read 'They incline to oblige only one when they stare'. The descriptions of the Two Gendarmes and the Bridesmaids were transposed. The Gendarmes's description is 'They may recognise places' and the Bridesmaids' is 'They make preparations to deal with an exception'. Because of the length of time these mistakes appeared, the performance records in this database reflect the programmes, even if they are incorrect.
