Notes
Fears and Miseries of the Third Reich was produced by the Cambridge Theatre Company.
Zoe was among a number of young performers at the company during its 1973-4 season (a period of around eight months). With the other company members, she performed a diverse repertoire of plays, encompassing comedy, drama, and pantomime. In addition to Fears and Miseries of the Third Reich, they performed Twelfth Night, Aunt Sally, Jack and the Beanstalk, She Stoops to Conquer, and French Without Tears.
The company's productions were performed in rotation (a week of one show, say, followed by a week of another), with the exception of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Zoe has appeared in another drama about Nazi Germany, Inside the Third Reich, which was first broadcast in 1982.
