Notes
○ The Vanishing marked the first time young people from the Scarborough area appeared in a Stephen Joseph Theatre In the Round production. According to a press report, four girls from Graham School and two girls from St Augustine's RC School took the three roles; however only two boys and one girl are credited in the production programme.
