Cherry Bounce is a one act farce by Richard John Raymond ()[]

The original text

Cherry Bounce, described as "A Farsetta, in One Act" was performed for the First Time on Monday August 27th, 1821, at Sadler's Wells Theatre.

The play was published by J. Lowndes, 1821, by T.H. Lacy, 1823, and in Volume 4, Issue 59 of The new British theatre by J. Duncombe, 1830.

Translations and adaptations

It appears that the play became very popular and at least two adaptations of the text, both called The Omnibus, or A Convenient Distance were done in the 1830s, one by Isaac Pocock ()[] and the other by Tyrone Power (1797-1841)[].

For South African performances of the adaptations, see The Omnibus, or A Convenient Distance
