A musical farce in two acts by Prince Hoare (1755-1834).

First performed by His Majesty's company, with music by Storace. Published in Dublin by F. Farquhar,1793.

1815: Performed in Cape Town by the English Theatricals company (former Garrison Players) in the African Theatre on 23 September, with Speed the Plough (Morton)

1853: Performed by Door Yver Bloeit De Kunst in the Bree Street Theatre, Cape Town on 28 April ( repeated on 3 May). It was done in the Dutch translation as De Lotery Prys, of No. 2,5,3,8., as afterpiece to Rozella en Guido, of Het Regt der Natuur (Westerman). The company claims - wrongly - that "Beide Stukken zullen voor de eerste maal op het Kaapsh Tooneel vertoond worden" (i.e. "the two works "are seen on the Cape stage for the first time)).

Translated into Dutch as De Lotery Prys, of No. 2,5,3,8. by an anonymous Cape Town Amateur.

Bosman, 1928: pp. 147
