Broadcast Notes	A note on the script: the work here is a stage play that is being relayed on television. We are unaware of any differences in dialogue between the broadcast text and the published text of the play. A television script would have been prepared for the broadcast (Stuart Griffiths: script editor), but we are not aware of any archival resource that has retained this to consult.
