Performance history in South Africa

1847: Performed by the Garrison Players in the Garrison Theatre on Wednesday 8 September 1847, as an afterpiece to The Merchant of Venice.

1850: Performed by the 73rd Regiment (Garrison Players) in the Garrison Theatre on Wednesday 29th May 1850, with The Lancers (Payne), A Lover by Proxy (Boucicault) and My Young Wife and my Old Umbrella (Webster). (A confusing misprint on page 398 in Bosman, 1928[2]], seems to suggest that the company would be doing a "the Comedietta, in two Acts, by D.Boucicault, Esq., A Lover by Proxy! or My Daughter Sir! (Planché)". Clearly they did two one-act farces, not a two-act farce by two authors!)
