−	A play called ''[[The Workman]]'' is mentioned by [[D.C. Boonzaier]] (1923) as being performed in Cape Town in 1887, and is ascribed by him to "Edward Towers". However, it is more likely that this was actually a performance of ''[[The Workman, or The Shadow on the Hearth~~]]'' (1880), a drama in five acts by Frank Harvey. The '''actor''' Edward Towers may have appeared in it, hence Boonzaier's error about an event 36 years earlier.~~	+	#REDIRECT [[The Workman, or The Shadow on the Hearth]]
