5 of these 11 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 6 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.

I remember that on this occasion, however, once we got to the theater, she got me a box of candies—the now-defunct and forever politically incorrect concession stand item called Chocolate Babies—just in case.
