The [[Hippodrama]], or "horse drama", was a very specialized 19th century theatrical version of the [[Equestrian Circus]]. It was genre of theatrical show evolved in England by Philip Astley at the beginning of the 19th century as a way to circumvent the restrictions of the the Licensing Act of 1737. In such dramas circus horsemanship displays are combined with popular [[Melodrama|melodrama]] theatre, using texts written specifically for the genre.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippodrama]. Besides using established texts, the form was also used for patriotic plays based on various battles.

They were usually performed in specially constructed venues referred to as [[Hippodrome|Hippodromes]].

A number of these were done in South Africa over the years, ''inter alia'' by [[Astley's Circus]], the [[Equestrian Gymnastics]], **
