According to [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1928, p 213), its first production in Cape Town on 5 June 1830 by [[H. Booth]] and [[All the World's a Stage]] led to a great deal of critique for the presentation and the text, which the critic of the Commercial Advertiser said was "a clumsy adaptation from the German". In response "A British Amateur" wrote in the [[Zuid-Afrikaan]] stated (correctly) that it was in fact an "almost literal translation" of the French play ''La Vie d'un Joueur''. However, it seems to have been to everyone's taste, and was repeated on 19 June 1830.
