The play was directed by Oli Bruce, assisted by Steph Bruce.

Stage manager was Lily Hobbs, lighting and sound was scheduled to be handled by Leo Lyon, but due to circumstances beyond his (or anyone’s) control, he had to step away at a late stage. We offer our endless thanks to Jon Davies and Rolly Trice for stepping into Leo’s shoes and saving the show. Thanks also go to the Guildford School of Acting for lending us a rostrum.

Marketing and production help was given by Jen Haynes and Jenny Swift.

Some props were fabricated by Stephen Liddle (including a window and an exploded cigar), some by Anna Chalker (the interrogation equipment). Most were supplied by the Pranksters. The desk used in the show was lent to us by the Guildburys Theatre Company.
