Edward Oliver, the cast includes Stephanie Lawrence as Esther, Denis Quilley as Haman and Clive Carter as the minstrel Mordecai. 'Swan Esther' opened at London's Young Vic Theatre in December 1983 for a limited run starring Amanda Redman in the title role. br / br / After undergoing many revisions, the show embarked on a successful UK tour in 1985 produced by Bill Kenwright.
