''[[The Anatomist, or The Sham Doctor]]'' is a farce in two acts by Edward Ravenscroft.

Sometimes listed simply as ''[[The Anatomist]]''.

== The original text ==

Originally a 3 act play, it was later condensed into this popular farce. According to L.M. Vincent (2005) it was based on Hauteroche's ''[[Crispin Médecin]]'' and was first produced at Lincoln's Inn Fields in November of 1696. The play apparently was a stock afterpiece throughout the second half of the eighteenth century. It was first published in London by R Baldwin in 1697, and a number of times subsequently.

== Production history in South Africa ==

1815: Performed by the [[Garrison Players]] in the [[African Theatre]] on 18 August as an afterpiece to ''[[John Bull or The Englishman's Fireside]]'' (George Colman the Younger) in Cape Town. The evening was a charity event under the patronage of the Governor, and also intended to incite patriotism in the colony.

1817: Performed by the [[Garrison Players]] in the [[African Theatre]] on 30 August 1817, with ''[[The Mountaineers]]'' (George Colman the Younger).
