This London premiere never took place. According to Patrick White's biographer David Marr, "White was surprised and hurt when at the last minute the Mermaid Theatre rejected Sarsaparilla as indecent." See Marr, D. (2010) "Patrick White's London" in R. Drewe, ed., The Best Australian Essays 2010, 1st ed. [online] Collingwood: Black Inc., p.39. https://books.google.com.au/books?id=GKyEp-QTtkAC
