''[[Hearts are Trumps]]'' is a farce by Mark Lemon (1809–1870)[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Lemon,_Mark_(DNB00)]

Also found as ''[[Hearts are Trumps, or A Father's Love]]''.

==The original text==

The play opened at The Strand Theatre in London on 30 July, 1849, and appears to have been quite popular during the 19th century. The text was published by Dicks (No 1058).

==Translations and adaptations==

According to [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1980), citing the theatrical reminiscences of [[William Groom]] (1899-1900), a play with the strange name of ''[[Captain Charlotte, or Hearts and Trumps]]'' was performed by the [[Le Roy-Duret Company]] in Cape Town in 1866. Bosman suggests that the author may have been Edward Stirling (1809-1894)[https://www.google.co.za/search?source=hp&ei=twqrW5TzMMXmsAf2p5zYAw&q=edward+stirling+playwright&oq=Edward+Stirling&gs_l=psy-ab.1.5.0j0i22i30k1l9.978.978.0.6498.1.1.0.0.0.0.330.330.3-1.1.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.1.329....0.5Pew9DneKGk].

However, since no such work (by Stirling or an other author) has been traced to date, it seems far more likely that the title actually refers to a performance of ''[[Hearts are Trumps]]'' (or an adaptation thereof).

1866: ''[[Captain Charlotte, or Hearts and Trumps]]'' performed by the [[Le Roy-Duret Company]] in the [[Harrington Street Theatre]], Cape Town, on 29th March, with ''[[The Momentous Question, or Woman's Devotion]]'' (Fitzball).
