1859: Produced by Charles Fraser and his company in the Cape Town Theatre on 11 July, as an afterpiece to a play F.C.L. Bosman (1980) refers to as The Misanthrope, or the Dropping Well of Knavesboro' [sic] by an unnamed author. (This is almost certainly an error, most probably it was The Charcoal Burner or the Dropping Well of Knaresborough by George Almar).
