Cast

Notes
  • This play sees Leslie Phillips reprising his role as Doctor Robert Knox from Medicinal Purposes.
  • The aliens in this story were previously in Pier Pressure.
  • Eric Loren previously played Mr Diagoras and the Dalek Sec Hybrid in the Tenth Doctor story "Daleks in Manhattan"/"Evolution of the Daleks".
  • The sound design and music for this story is by Martin Johnson. Martin composed the music for the stage adaptations of Evil of the Daleks (2006) and The Dalek Masterplan (2007), the latter of which involved Nicholas Briggs.
  • The 'limelight' of the title is a reference to the stage lighting of the era which assassin John Wilkes Booth would have been in as an actor, but is also a play on the phrase "in the limelight" being a reference to a person being the object of attention.

gollark: Also, Python libraries generally seem to be imperative stuff with a thin OOP veneer which makes it slightly more irritating to use.
