Performance history in South Africa

30 November 1824: A performance was planned to be performed in Cape Town by the English Theatricals company (former Garrison Players) in the African Theatre on this date 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.

16 August, 1826: Performed in the African Theatre, Cape Town 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.

9 June 1842: Performed in Cape Town in the Garrison Theatre by the Garrison Players alongside Love in humble life (Payne) and Make Your Wills! (Mayhew and Smith).
