Performances in South Africa

1862: A play called Temptation was performed by Clara Tellett and her company in the Harrington Street Theatre, Cape Town, on 3 July, and billed as a "new three act drama". Also performed were a dance by Mrs Brazier and The Maid with the Milking Pail (Buckstone). (F.C.L. Bosman suggests this was probably Temptation, or The Fatal Brand by Townsend, but it may in fact have been Waldron's play, performed by him in 1855.)
