Lock and Key

Lock and Key is a "musical entertainment" in two acts by Prince Hoare (1755-1834)[1]

The original text

First performed at the Theatre Royal, Covent-Garden. Published by T. N. Longman, London, in 1796.

Performance history in South Africa

1812: Performed in the African Theatre, Cape Town on Saturday 20 April by the Garrison Players, with The Poor Gentleman (Colman Jr). In this instance, Bosman (1928: p. 143) lists Hoare's play wrongly as The Lock and Key.
