First produced at the Opera Comique on 25th May 1878.

A drawing room entertainment written, composed and performed by George Grossmith.

No copy of this listed in British Library catalogue. No copy of Vocal Score in British Library. The play is not listed by Allardyce Nicoll, was therefore probably not published, and may be totally lost.

Either preceded or followed H.M.S. Pinafore (sources differ) at the Opera Comique until 5th August 1878 and from 14th October to 5th or 14th December 1878.

Five Hamlets and A Silver Wedding, also Grossmith monologues, were apparently performed with H.M.S. Pinafore early in its run, the former terminating on 12th October 1878. We have no details of yet another of these; Homburg, or Haunted by The Mikado, which Grossmith performed after the first revival of H.M.S. Pinafore (1887-8).
