"(good-bye poker game in the First Class State Room in "No Moon/Autumn")"

There goes one of my favorite lines. Mrs Cardoza goes into the men's smoking room in search of a card game. One of the men says:

"Where is your sense of occasion, madam? I understand you just lost your husband!"

"Yes" she replies, "...but not at cards".

That scene was definitely in the Southwark Playhouse production.

No, it was not, unless they put it in right after opening. They had the music, but turned "Autumn" into a dance between Alice and Edgar - was that not in it when you saw it?

At the interval on the night we attended, there were quite a few people who remarked on the absence of that scene, and the larger tapestry of seeing all three classes on stage at the same time (for the first time, since they got on the boat).

I dont remember Autumn being a dance between Alice and Edgar at all.... i saw it early on in previews.

I'm positive it was in there, as its one of my favourite lines too. Will check with someone who was in it and let you know :)

It's comforting to hear that it was in there at some point. Perhaps they lost an actor at the last minute and had to make a drastic fix. If that's the case, it does improve my opinion of the show.

Look forward to hearing more.

And to prattle on (sorry, this is one of the few shows that I get super nerdy about): I knew they wouldn't be able to do the Charlotte Cardoza scene from the opening song, because they had the same person doubling Cardoza who played one of the major characters... I think the main Kate.
