Paul Pry

A farce in three acts, the most notable play written by 19th century English playwright John Poole. It premiered in London on 13 September 1825 at the Haymarket Theatre and ran 114 performances. The play continued to be popular until the early 1870s.

According to an undated handbill, it was produced in Cape Town, along with Morton's A Roland for an Oliver some time in the late 1820s by a group of 72 Highlander soldiers in the Cape Town barracks, calling themselves The Highland Amateur Party.
