A Melo-drama, in Three Acts by Douglas Jerrold.
The name is sometimes spelled Ambrose Gwinnett, and in South Africa referred to as Ambrose Guinett, or a Sea-Side Story or simply Ambrose Guinett.
Published in 1828.
Performance history in South Africa
1831: Played for the first time on 8 October by the All the World's a Stage in the African Theatre, as Ambrose Guinett, or a Sea-Side Story, with as afterpiece Amateurs and Actors, or A Peep Behind the Curtain (Peake).
1838: Performed by the English Amateur Company in the Cape Town Theatre on 13 October, 1838, with as afterpiece The Spectre Bridegroom, or A Ghost in spite of Himself (Moncrieff). The title wrongly given as Ambrose Guinett, or a Sea-Side Story. According to Bosman (1928), this was to be the last production mounted in the African Theatre before it was sold and turned into a church, and it was also the last production by English amateurs in Cape Town till 1843, for the Methodist anti-theatre movement had temporarily won the battle.
