Notes
It was announced 5 May 2005 that Nicky Henson, cast as Sir Toby Belch, had to leave the production due to ill-health. Clive Wood took over the role from 24 May. The understudy, Christopher Robert, played the role inbetween. The RSC recording date for this production has not been ascertained so it is not certain who played Sir Toby, although it is likely to have been Christopher Robert.
