Performance history in South Africa

1887 Part of the repertoire of the Wheeler Theatrical Company when they performed in the Theatre Royal, Cape Town during April and May. Described by Boonzaier (1923) as a "perfectly constructed and intensely amusing farcical comedy", it featured the actor E.A. Elton in one of the leads and was generally well received.
