Love, Law and Physic
A Farce, in Two Acts by James Kenney. First produced 1812. Published: J. Cumberland, 1821
A performance was planned for 30 November 1824 to be performed in Cape Town by the English Theatricals company (former Garrison Players) in the African Theatre as a benefit performance for Mr J. Corbishley, (with A Cure for the Heartache by Morton). However it was "unavoidably postponed" and according to Bosman (1928, p 187) no records appear to show whether it did actually occur or not.
Performed in the African Theatre, Cape Town on 16 August, 1826 by the Garrison Amateur Company, as an afterpiece to The Heir at Law. The performers were: Sgt Corbishley, Mr le Seur, Mr Sandford, Mr Hanson, Mr Goodwin, Mr Walker, Mrs Johnson and Mrs Black.
Performed in Cape Town on 9 June 1842 in the Garrison Theatre by the Garrison Players alongside Love in humble life (Payne) and Make Your Wills! (Mayhew and Smith).
