Further Information Pre-1961, the play had two brief experimental productions in the Players' Workshop, followed by a BBC Television performance and an NZBS radio adaptation. It still awaited a full-scale theatre production in the main New Zealand centres. The workshop production was later presented in Auckland, and then again in Wellington in a version somewhat rewritten as a result of the experience gained. (Programme note for 'The Tree', 1958).
