Read Narrative
The Era, 6 and 13 September 1916, listed The Man Who Stayed at Home (Red) as On The Road from 11 September at the T.R., Glasgow. ‘Produced shortly after the commencement of the war, and on the round of the Metropolis and provinces almost continuously since, “The Man Who Stayed at Home" ... maintains a successful career. This week it is on a return visit to the city in the Royal Theatre, and last night it had a warm welcome from a well-filled house. The scenes are laid mainly in an East Coast boarding-house, and the spy question and wireless telegraphy furnish leading features. Mr Clifford Marle plays the principal part of the Secret Agent, Christopher Brent, and Miss Valerie Richards is Miriam Lee [sic – Leigh], the heroine. The other parts are also in capable hands’. The Scotsman, 12 September 1916.

Read Narrative
‘Continuing their season at the Theatre-Royal, the Brandon-Thomas company this week present Frederick Lonsdale’s comedy, “On Approval,” which was seen in Edinburgh last week … As a curtain-raiser, Barrie’s lesser-known one-act play, “The Well-Remembered Voice,” makes an interesting contrast’. The Scotsman, 2 October 1934.
