Notes
Love After All was initially scheduled to run in repertory from 30 June - 6 July, 28 July - 3 August and 8 - 10 September. However, the entire season was re-scheduled after the opening production 'Prentice Pillar had the rest of its run pulled. As a result, Love After All was performed from 30 June - 13 July and then 28 July - 3 August.
The Assistant Stage Manager for the 1960 season - who also worked on Love After All - was Martin Carthy, who would go on to become one of the most famed British folk singers of his generation.
