The bill for the evening contained ''[[The Irish Attorney, or Galway Practice]]'', featuring [[Mr Dillon]] (as the attorney), [[Mr Barrington]] and [[Mr Egerton]]. The play was followed by a Christy's style performance by [[Mr Egerton]] and [[Mr Angelo]].

 On 1 August they did a repeat of ''[[The Irish Attorney, or Galway Practice]]'', along with a performance of "the Grand Comical, Classical (Musical) Burlesques" of ''[[William Tell]]'', with scenery by [[C.J. Smith]]. (The publicity of the piece compares it to the 1861 production of the piece by [[Sefton Parry]].) This evening's performance was a paid one, and apparently the audiences did not turn up.
 Sadly, no more is heard of the [[Phoenix Dramatic Club]] after that.

 The club was probably a revival "from the ashes" of the old [[Cape Town Dramatic Club]] and aspired to "a revival of the drama" in Cape Town.
