This production was notable for including blind actor Esmond Knight in a sighted role, as a judge whom Mortimer senior faces. It was filmed in Mortimer's own house. The title is an echo of Xavier de Maistre's fantasy Voyage autour de ma chambre, or in English, (written 1790, published 1794). In June 2006, the play was revived at the Donmar Warehouse with Derek Jacobi and Dominic Rowan; it transferred to Wyndham's Theatre in September. (en)
