Saloon Bar (play)
Saloon Bar is a 1939 British crime drama play written by Frank Harvey. It ran for a hundred and eighty performances at Wyndham's Theatre in London. The original cast included Gordon Harker, Mervyn Johns and Anna Konstam. It marked Margaret Johnston's West End debut.[1] The regulars at a London pub attempt to prove that a man is about to be wrongly hanged for murder.
Film adaptation[]
The following year the play was adapted into a film Saloon Bar directed by Walter Forde with Harker and several of the other stage performers reprising their roles.[2]
