The play was possibly also performed as '''''[[The Bushranger]]'''''.
   
==The original text==

First performed in London at the Queen's Theatre, Sept.22, 1834 and later at the Surrey Theatre, and published in London as Issue 263 of Duncombe's acting edition of the British theatre in 1834 and later as Dicks' standard plays ; no. 548 by  John Dicks, London, [1884].

== Performance history in South Africa ==

1876: A play simply called ''[[The Bushranger]]'' (no author given) was performed in the [[Athenaeum Hall]], Cape Town, by [[Disney Roebuck]] and company on  1 August, with ''[[Jack Sheppard]]''. Though there are a number of plays about bushrangers (see '''[[The Bushrangers]]'''), this British play is most likely to have been the text used by Roebuck. (Given its interracial theme, Melville's ''[[The Bushrangers, or Norwood Vale]]'' is a  far less likely probability.)
