Philipp Tattersall who was also in the production adds:-

I am reminded that there were two clothing props in the possession of the Dramatic Society - the only two, I seem to remember. One was THE WIG, worn here so fetchingly by Colin Bradbury! The other was THE STOMACH. The Wig was the worst piece of theatrical costumery that I have ever encountered!
