Crittenden discusses the information revealed on both sides of a theatre playbill printed in Sydney, New South Wales, dated 30 July 1796, found in the Canadian Archives and gifted to Australia by Canada in 2007. The back of the document, held in the National Library of Australia, has a handwritten note by Phillip Gidley King on the earliest play produced in Sydney and the earliest produced on Norfolk Island. Crittenden also explores the possible identities of the actors who performed in the plays advertised on the playbill and highlights one of them, George Hughes, who also printed the playbill.
