It also toured the provincial theatres and went through eleven printed editions from 1798 to 1803. Further evidence of its extraordinary popularity is given by the fact that it crossed the ocean and opened in New York on 1 June 1798. Moreover, it was turned into a prose romance in 1829 by Sarah Wilkinson. A new adaptation of this play by Phil Willmott was given its first performance at the Warehouse Theatre Croydon on 5 December 1997. It was directed by Ted Craig and designed by Peter Lindley. The cast was as follows: Percy, son of the - , Earl Osmond - Martyn Stanbridge, Angela - Mali Harries, Old Allan/Reginald, Earl of Conwy - Frank Ellis, Muley - Nick Wilton, Hassan - Clive Llewellyn.

  • The Castle Spectre – jest to dramatyczny romans w pięciu aktach autorstwa Matthew "Monka" Lewisa. Tłem dla tego dramatu gotyckiego jest średniowieczne Conway w Walii. The Castle Spectre został po raz pierwszy wystawiony w teatrze Theatre Royal, Drury Lane 14 grudnia 1797 roku. W okresie kiedy zaledwie kilka sztuk osiągało 10 wystawień w sezonie, dramat znalazł się na scenie 47 razy jeszcze przed upływem czerwca, gdy teatr był zamknięty na czas letni. Sztuka była także często wystawiana w roku następnym i pozostawała w repertuarze do późnych lat 20 i była wznawiana aż do końca stulecia. Krążyła także po prowincjonalnych teatrach i miała 11 drukowanych edycji od 1798 do 1803 roku. Dalszy dowód na nadzwyczajną popularność to fakt, iż sztuka dotarła za ocean i miała inaugurację w Nowym Jorku 1 czerwca 1798 roku. Została także przekształcona w romans pisany prozą przez Sarah Wilkinson. (pl)
