United States touring in 1893

[edit]

We have a primary source (a diary) of him performing in Denver March 1, 1893. Anyone have a better source for an earlier-than-1894 date for US tours? (John User:Jwy talk) 21:17, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name

[edit]

Is he the same person as playwright Alfred Wilson Barrett? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:16, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quo Vadis

[edit]

The article says "The plot in some ways strongly resembles the contemporary novel Quo Vadis, and it may have been an unofficial adaptation of it, though Barrett never acknowledged this." As the play was first performed two days after the first installment of the novel was published and 11 months before the last, doesn't that imply that it would have had to have been the other way - that the novel drew from Barrett's play ? -- Beardo (talk) 05:23, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
