South African performances

1877: Though a play called Jane Shore was performed by Disney Roebuck and his company in the Theatre Royal, Cape Town, on 9 August, with the burlesque Kenilworth, or Ye Queene, Ye Earle and Ye Maidene (Halliday and Lawrance), this is unlikely to have been the Boulding and Palgrave play, since that work was only performed in England in 1885. Most probably used by Roebuck was a version of Rowe's original play.
