Performance history in South Africa
1860: Produced as State Secrets, or The Tailor of Tamworth by Sefton Parry on 23 February in the The Cape Town Theatre in Harrington Street , with Jane Lomax, or A Mother's Crime (Buckstone). A song by Montague Smythson and a dance by Lizzie Powell served as interlude. For Jane Lomax, Thomas Baines created "beautiful new scenery representing a Snow Storm, the first of its kind attempted here", according to the Cape Town publicity. Despite it all the evening was not well attended.
