Musical scena.
Notes
-
Described as an 'operatic scena' (Brisbane Courier 23 November 1918, p.7), Life in a Gypsy Camp was possibly written by Hugh Huxham, in collaboration with other members of his troupe.
-
It is unclear if any connection exists between this work and two similarly titled productions: My Gypsy Maid (a musical scena staged in Brisbane during January 1918 by Walter George's [q.v.] Smart Set [q.v.] troupe) and My Gypsy Girl (a burlesque produced by Walter Johnson's [q.v.] Town Topics [q.v.] company ca. October/November 1919).
