1865: Performed as part of a benefit for victims of the great storm that had recently (in May) raged by what could be referred to as the [[Robben Island Amateurs]] - a cast probably made up of inmates and staff members of the asylum on Robben Island[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robben_Island]). Also part of the programme were ''[[Did I Dream It?]]'' (Wooler) and  ''[[Fearful Tragedy in the Seven Dials]]'' (Selby).
