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.'
