- Notes
- ''The concluding scenes [of The Dance Dress] had to stand up to one of the incidental risks of television, a "technical hitch", at the very crisis of the play... The players in this case countered the break in their performance - at its moment of highest urgency - with courage and success.' Includes a photograph of the production.
