Notes

  • There are two plays with the title Belphegor, the Mounteback, both adapted from Adolphe D'Ennery's Aillasse. One is written by Charles Webb and the other by B. N. Webster. It seems likely that the play performed in Sydney in August, October and November 1868 is Charles Webb's drama as it was that work that was presented earlier in the year at the Royal Victoria Hall, Brisbane.
  • Belphegor, the Mountebank is included in AustLit because it was produced in Australian theatres during the colonial era.

Production Details

  • First produced at at the Sadler's Wells Theatre, Islington, London, 24 April 1856.

  • Performed at the Royal Victoria Hall, Brisbane, January 1868.
