Notes
◦ Father of Invention was written during 2021 but never produced. It was publicly performed for the first time in a rehearsed reading, directed by Alan Ayckbourn, as part of a fund-raising event for the Stephen Joseph Theatre in 2024.
◦ The character of Marc Resnick would - in actual production - be a character on video.
◦ The role of Rupert Onsett was originally cast with Jamie Baughan - who tragically died at the age of 42 during the summer of 2024.
