Underneath the title and author's name there is a note that reads 'Note: It is intended that this play should he topical within the area in which is it performed. The producer is offered a free hand to make any suitable alterations to King Coal, place-names, industries, etc.'. 'Coal' has been underlined. At the top of the page a note has been written in lead pencil: 'Performed by Arts Theatre for a one-shot festival of Aust'n plays at Sth Bris. Library hall, '60-ish. It was very slick and great fun. J. Hollingworth directed.'
