Advertised in the Brisbane Courier as 'an original, musical, operatic, fantastic, burlesque of du Maurier's great work... [with] new songs, dances, sketches, comedies etc,' the story is set in 'the studi-o for the nudey-oh in the very late-in quarter-oh!' The principal characters are Trilby ('plenty of sole has our heroine sweet, but alas she carries it all in her feet'); Sven-Garlic ('a strong character'); Jacko ('up to monkey tricks'); and Madame Vineyard ('good wine needs no push') (13 March 1897, p.2).
