Of the 890 productions we hold that opened in the 1940s and carry a performance count, this is the 694th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.

4 of these 18 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 14 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.

Producer

Eddie Dowling

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.
• No character names. We can say who was in the company and not who they played.
• No recording is held for Hope's the Thing at all.
• No director named.
• Reviews, box office, running order, understudies and designers: none of it is held for any production.
