The original text
First produced in 1856 at the Britannia Saloon, where it had a long run.
Published in Thomas Hailes Lacy's series Acting Edition of Plays in 1856.
Translations and adaptations
Performance history in South Africa
1865: Performed in the Theatre Royal on 23 and 26 October by Ray and Cooper, with the help of local "Gentlemen Amateurs". Billed as an "admired pathetic drama", it shared the programme with The Area Belle (Brough and Halliday) as afterpiece.
1884-5: Boonzaier (1923) refers to a play called The Wanderer’s Return that was performed by the Henry Harper Company in the new Theatre Royal, Cape Town, as part of Henry Harper's first season as lessee and manager of the venue. It is probably an inaccurate reference to (or adaptation of) Hazlewood's play.
