Revision as of 05:54, 13 August 2019

According to Bosman (1980), citing the theatrical reminiscences of Groom (1899-1900), a play with the strange name of Captain Charlotte, or Hearts and Trumps was performed by the Le Roy-Duret Company in Cape Town in 1866. Bosman suggests the author may have been Edward Stirling (1809-1894)[1].

However, no such work has been traced to date, and it seems far more likely that for some unfathomable reason, this title actuallyt refers to a performance of Hearts are Trumps, a farce by Mark Lemon (1809–1870)[2] that opened at The Strand Theatre 30 July, 1849
