Notes
She Stoops to Conquer 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 appeared in a diverse repertoire of plays, encompassing comedy, drama, and pantomime. In addition to She Stoops to Conquer, they performed Twelfth Night, Aunt Sally, Jack and the Beanstalk, Fears and Miseries of the Third Reich, 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.
