No performance count on this record. 2,834 of 13,459 productions are missing one, so a blank here means unrecorded, not a short run.

No closing date. 5,632 of 13,459 productions have none, and at this distance that means the ending was never recorded rather than that the run went on.

0 of these 5 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.
