British television's first drama. It was also the first dramatic television broadcast ever attempted anywhere in the world.
On July 14, 1930, the British Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDonald, watched the play with his family on the Baird Televisor that John Logie Baird had previously installed at their 10 Downing Street home.
The technology for recording television broadcasts did not exist in 1930 and the production was not filmed; therefore, this performance is considered lost.
