The performance apparently opened each act with a chorus, and the evening also included a rustic dance, two comic songs and the farce Damp Beds (Parry). Performers included Mr Miller, Mr Etton, Mr Rogers, Mr Hughes, Mr Herbert, Mr Tilbury, Mrs Parker and Mrs Hughes. The Company Manager was W.F.H. Parker and the Stage Manager Mr H. Hughes

1851 Performed again by the New English Theatrical Company in the Drury Lane Theatre. this time with The Middy Ashore (Bernard) as afterpiece.
