— Review of Caste 1867 single work drama ; The Water Witches 1842 single work musical theatre ; Pauline; Or, A Night of Peril 1800 single work drama ;(p. 530)A review of the April 1868 Duke of Edinburgh (aka Haymarket) Theatre productions of Thomas William Robertson's Caste and Joseph Stirling Coyne's The Water Witches and the Theatre Royal production of Pauline; or, A Night of Peril.
With the impending closure at the Theatre Royal of local playwright William Akhurst's Paris the Prince and Helen the Fair; Or, The Giant Horse and the Siege of Troy, Jaques hopes for 'more to come' from Akhurst's hand, and expresses 'a strong objection to gentlemen who, being in the colony and writing plays, are put on one side for authors whose only recommendation is that they live on the north side of the equator. I hold to the opinion that we have the materials, and plenty of the workmen too, suitable for the production of suitable plays in the colony.'
