Notes

  • More than one 19th century play had the title Six Degrees of Crime. Further research is required to establish whether the play performed in Australia is definitely the one written by Barnett.
  • Six Degrees of Crime is included in AustLit because it was produced in Australian theatres during the colonial era.

Production Details

  • First produced at the Olympic Theatre, The Strand, London, 18 November 1844.

  • Performed at the Royal Victoria Theatre, Sydney, June 1868.
