Contents
The original text
According to Allardyce Nicoll, this was first performed at the Parkhurst Theatre on 16 May, 1898.
Translations and adaptations
A "side-splitting entertainment" called The Bal Masqué (Sloppy Sam) was apparently well known in Cape Town in the 1860s and is ascribed to Arthur H. Ward by F.C.L. Bosman (1980: p. 260). However this is unlikely to be true and it may simply have been another, earlier, burlesque-style work.
Performance history in South Africa
1867: A "side-splitting entertainment" called The Bal Masqué (Sloppy Sam) was performed by Le Roy and Duret in the Theatre Royal, Cape Town on 8 June, with Othello in Ireland ("semi-serio" opera based on Shakespeare).
