We don't have a performance count. A blank here means the count is unknown, not a short run.

No closing date. At this distance that most likely means nobody wrote down when it ended, rather than that the run went on.

Who was in it1 named

Alice Barnett

0 of these 1 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 1 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.
