A farce, in two acts by Charles Thompson.


First produced in South Africa on 20 August, 1847 by W.F.H. Parker and a company of English amateurs in the Drury Lane Theatre in Cape Town. A reviewer called it an "admired historical Drama". The performance apparently opened each act with a chorus, and the evening also included a rustic dance, two comic songs and Damp Beds , a farce in two acts by 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
