22 of these 130 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 108 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.

These came out of a wiki table. The names arrived with the table's own cell markup on them and have been stripped back. They are not linked to person records because the identifiers in that table do not resolve to ours.

None of these is attributed to this staging. They are filed against Hair, and nothing says which production any of them documents. Closing that join is the point of this catalogue and it is not closed yet.
