Most of the cast of this film are the original cast from the stage version, with only a few newcomers, drawn from East Anglia's rich pool of local acting talent. These newcomers mostly take roles formerly played by Donna Triggs herself on stage.
Adapted for stage by Donna K. Triggs, this is a filmed version of that stage play, which has been financed by the Arts Council of Great Britain to enable the play to reach a wider audience despite the country suffering from a nationwide lock-down which closed theatres and halted the show's planned tour.
