[[D.C. Boonzaier]] (1928, cited in [[F.C.L. Bosman|Bosman]], 1980) mentions a play he calls ''[[Bar Rochba]]'' (by an unnamed  author) performed in Cape Town by a Hebrew company in 1901. This is most likely an English version of the play and quite possibly a misspelling by the Boonzaier, who was relying on his memory.
