The play was produced and performed at the Theatre Royal in Haymarket in London, England. It starred Dame Wendy Hiller as Juliana, Christopher Reeve as Henry Jarvis and The Bostonians (1984) leading lady Vanessa Redgrave as Miss Tina. This stage adaptation was written by Sir Michael Redgrave, the father of Vanessa Redgrave, the latter of whom was awarded the Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Revival.
