Known in South Africa through productions of Lovers' Quarrels, or Like Master Like Man', a farce in one act, attributed to Thomas King (1730-1805), though often credited to Vanbrugh, since it was an shortened adaptation of The Mistake. Allardyce Nicoll (History of English Drama, 1660-1900, republished 2009) also mentions two other adaptations under the same title, one by "D.L." (1816) and one by "Vic." (1864).
