0 of these 25 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 25 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

A. Deshe (Pashanel)

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.

Recordings 2 held for the work

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

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.
• Which of the 2 recordings of Ipi-Tombi document this run, if any.
• Reviews, box office, running order, understudies and designers: none of it is held for any production.
