New page

''[[Grandfather's Darling, or The Post-boy]]'' is the title given by [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1980: p. 360) to a play (or plays) performed in the [[Theatre Royal]], Cape Town, by [[Luscombe Searelle]] and his company on 24 September, 1877.

Actually, Bosman had most probably conflated the titles of to short plays, perhaps both performed on that night: Edmund Gurney's one-act play ''[[Dad's Darling]]'' and ''[[The Post-boy]]'', a play in two acts by Craven.

'''For other productions, see the entries on the two plays.'''
