Brown and the Brahmins, or Captain Pop and The Princess Pretty-eyes! is an "oriental burlesque" by Robert Reece
Sometimes referred to simply as Brown and the Brahmins.
The original text
Published in London by T.H. Lacy, 1869.
1875: Billed as "An Ashantee Dance and Chorus" and presented by "a band of coloured boys picked from the the streets of Cape Town" directed by Mr Elton and presented as an afterpiece to Leah, or The Jewish Maiden (Mosenthal?), under the auspices of Disney Roebuck on 24 July. The novelty of seeing coloured folk on the stage for the first time combined with their "extrvagant contortions of body and limb and grotesque action" apparently set audiences in a furore, though the idea was well received by The Argus on July 27 and the play was repeated a number of times in this season.
1875: Presented again under the auspices of Disney Roebuck on 26 July, with Lady Audley's Secret,
1875: Repeated on 28 July, as afterpiece to Black-Ey'd Susan (Burnand).
