The original text

Based on the historical events surrounding Lady Jane Grey[1], the martyred "Nine Days' Queen" of England.

First performed at the Drury Lane theatre, London in 1715, and the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden in 1776.

The South African linked actor/manager Frederick Mouillot appeared in a performance of the original play at the New Royal Theatre in Bristol (circa 1883).

Published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees and Orme in 1807. Another version, corrected by Charles Dibdin, was published in 1818 by Sherwood Neely and Jones, London.

The story has been reworked in numerous other ways over the years - see for example Cultural depictions of Lady Jane Grey in Wikipedia[2] - but Rowe's particular version does not feature anywhere except on stage depictions on stage over the course of the 19th century.
