Of the 1,388 productions we hold that opened in the 1930s and record a performance count, this is the 65th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.

Who was in it10 named

Elspeth Eric
Bramwell Fletcher
Edward Mcnamara
Evelyn Wahl
Hugh Marlowe

5 of these 10 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 5 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name — so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.

A producer is one string on this record, however many people or companies it names. Directors and choreographers are held both as text and as identifiers; where an identifier exists the name links to a page.

What this page does not know

  • No photograph of this staging. 48 of 13,459 productions hold one.
  • No character names. We can say who was in the company and not who they played.
  • No recording is held for Margin for Error at all.
  • No show page for Margin for Error. The work is here as a title and a year, and nothing more has been gathered about it.
  • Reviews, box office, running order, understudies and designers: none of it is held for any production.
