'Romance and reality, or, Truth and fiction', drama in two acts, possibly by John Brougham. Licence sent 9 July 1860 for performance at the Grecian. Signed B. Conquest, manager. Actors' names listed next to dramatis personæ. According to Nicoll, this is a revised version of a play first performed at the Princess's Theatre in June 1847, but the only play recorded under that title ('The road of life, or, Romance and reality') he firmly attributes to J. L. L. Blanchard, and cites a first performance at the Olympic Theatre in October 1843 (Add. 42969 (3).) A later version of the play, for which see Add. 52995 S, is definitely by John Brougham but listed under “unknown authors” in Nicoll. Keywords: businessmen, flirtation, family relationships, false identity, engagement, eavesdropping, letters.
ff. 32.
