A performance was planned for 30 November 1824 to be performed in Cape Town by the English Theatricals company (former Garrison Players) in the African Theatre as a benefit performance for Mr J. Corbishley, (with Love , Law and Physic by Kenney). However it was "unavoidably postponed" and according to Bosman (1928, p 187) no records appear to show whether it did actually occur or not.
