Performance history in South Africa
1865: Performed as part of a benefit for victims of the great storm that had recently (in May) raged by what could be referred to as the Robben Island Amateurs - a cast probably made up of inmates and staff members of the asylum on Robben Island[1]). Also part of the programme were Did I Dream It? (Wooler) and Fearful Tragedy in the Seven Dials (Selby).
