Grandfather's Darling, or The Post-boy

Grandfather's Darling, or The Post-boy is the title given by F.C.L. Bosman (1980: p. 360) to a play (or plays) performed in the Theatre Royal, Cape Town, by Luscombe Searelle and his company on 24 September, 1877. Bosman ascribes it to Edmund Gurney.

Actually, it appears that had most probably conflated the titles of to short plays, perhaps both having been performed on that night: Edmund Gurney's one-act play Grandad's Darling and The Post-boy, a play in two acts by Henry Thornton Craven (1818-1905).

For other productions, see the entries on the two plays.
