 * . Thank you for reviewing the article. The quote from The Indian Journal of English Studies: In his autobiography, My Experiences on the Stage, he tells us that in his keenness to see Shakespeare performed in London and to act with a Company there he stowed away on board a ship. Unfortunately, the ship he had stowed away in, sailed eastward instead of westward and... The Quote from The Oxford Companion to Indian Theatre: He dreamt of visiting England to see Shakespeare's plays, but managed only to tour Burma, Java, Sumatra, and the Andaman islands (1875). These two refs support the hook. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 14:04, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
