 The problem with some South African performances is that the sources are at times unclear as to which  play is being referred to by the shortened title ''[[Black-Eyed Susan]]''. For example, while it is assumed from the evidence that the burlesque version was brought to South Africa by [[Disney Roebuck]] in the 1870s,it is not always certain from the sources whether the play referred to as ''[[Black Eye'd Susan]]'' or ''[[Black Ey'd Susan]]'' by [[F.C.L. Bosman]], and listed by him for Roebuck between 1875 and 1877, is '''always''' a reference to the [[burlesque]] by Burnand, and not to the original play by Jerrold.
