It was based in part on the Florence Marryat novel Her Lord and Master.[3] It debuted on December 14, 1875, and was withdrawn after Saturday, July 29, 1876. It ran in at least two versions in London and also was produced on tour.[4]

The original cast included Maurice Barrymore, where he met his future wife Georgiana Drew.

Though the play was a success, critical response varied from "highly laudatory puff pieces to accusations of excessive sentiment and irritating sensationalism."[4]
