Opened at the Queen's Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, London on 2 March 1982 (tranferred from Greenwich Theatre)
JW played 'Barclay', replacing Matthew Solon from the original Greenwich production, in a new cast full of incipient talent (David Parfitt, Rupert Everett, Kenneth Branagh).

For an interesting lunchtime production that involved this cast, see Gogol's Gamblers. For a look at the second West End cast, check out another Another Country.
