Notes

  • The Larboard Fin is included in AustLit because it was produced in Australian theatres during the colonial era.

    Allardyce Nicoll lists a play entitled The Larboard Fin; or, Twelve Months Since by an unknown author, and gives a performance date of 1837. The British Library catalogue lists The Larboard Fin; or, Twelve Months Since by W. H. Wills published in vol. 13 of Cumberland's Minor Theatre series in 1828. The advertisement for a repeat performance of the play by the Royal Victoria Theatre, Sydney, on 8 December 1838 has the title The Larboard Fin; or, The Wrecker's Daughter. AustLit has not yet established which play was produced in Sydney in 1838.
