South African production

There was a production of Black Mikado in Soweto and Johannesburg in 1976 - presented by Des and Dawn Lindberg. Should this be mentioned? See http://www.desdawn.co.za/theatre.htm 122.107.58.27 (talk) 20:27, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I have no cite - only the memory of attending a performance 122.107.58.27 (talk) 03:27, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
