The American Rhodes scholar and community activist E.D. Berman founded the London-based Inter-Action Productions in 1968, and the Almost Free Theatre in 1971, and Stoppard's early one-act plays often found homes at Berman's theatres. The first production of these plays was at the Almost Free in April 1976.

A rare, doubly signed example, by both playwright and dedicatee.
