[[World premiere]] refers to the first regular performance of an theatrical event of any kind, anywhere in the world.

However, this term is often misapplied in the case of South African theatrical productions, very often being used to refer to the first performance outside of the country instead of the first performance ever - ''inside or outside the country''.

For example, to this day the Royal Court Theatre in London lists their 1974 prooduction of Athol Fugard's ''[[Statements After and Arrest under the Immorality Act]]'' as the [[World premiere]]" of the playt, despite the fact that the play was in a way commissioned by, and had its first run at, the [[Space Theatre]] in Cape Town in 1972.
