The original cast included Gordon Harker, Mervyn Johns and Anna Konstam. It marked Margaret Johnston's West End debut.

Harvey's Father adapted the play for Australian radio in 1941. [2]
The following year the play was adapted into a film Saloon Bar directed by Walter Forde with Harker and several of the other stage performers reprising their roles. [3]
