Man and Wife
Man and Wife can refer to three plays:
Contents
Man and Wife by Wilkie Collins
Man and Wife[1] was Wilkie Collins's ninth published novel, first published in 1870.
It was dramatized and first performed at the Haymarket Theatre, London, in 1886, with Cora Urquhart Potter as "Anne Sylvester". The play was apparently a failure, even though Collins was charmed by the actress's performance.
No record of performances of the play in South Africa have been found to date.
