1835: Performed by  [[Garrison Players]] (in fact the the officers of the 98th regiment), on 28 July 1835  in the [[African Theatre]],  followed by ''[[The Review, or The Wags of Windsor]]'' (Colman Jr).
 
 
 
1845: Performed by  [[All the World's a Stage]]  on Friday 22 August, 1845  in the [[Roland Street Theatre]],  followed by ''[[The Irish Tutor]]'' (Glengall).
 
 
 
1854: Was apparently to have been performed on 11 July 1854 by [[Garrison Players]] , to be followed by ''[[A Peculiar Position]]'' (author unnamed, but it was a translation from Scribe & Bayard by Planché). It seems this did not take place due to the illness of the stage manager, but was probably done some time later in July, with the addition of ''[[Two Bonnycastles|The Two Bonnycastles]]'' (J.M. Morton). The performances were repeated on Friday, 18 August,  now with another  addition, that  of  ''[[The Honeymoon]]'' (Tobin).
