In 1964 the Actors Studio staged the play's first production which ran from Apr 23, 1964 - Aug 29, at the ANTA Playhouse. It was directed by Burgess Meredith starring Al Freeman Jr., Rip Torn, Pat Hingle, Ann Wedgeworth and Ralph Waite among others in the cast, and received critical praise from The New York Times.[8] Later in 1965, the same production was remounted in London without Rip Torn in the key role of Lyle and drew a hostile reaction from London's critics [9]
The Royal Exchange, Manchester staged a revival in 1992 directed by Greg Hersov with Paterson Joseph, David Schofield, Nicholas Le Prevost and Wyllie Longmore. The performances ran from 22 October-14 November. [10]
In 2004, Talawa Theatre Company co-produced the play under Paulette Randall's direction with New Wolsey Theatre in partnership with (then known as) the Tricycle Theatre. The play was well received.[11][12]
