''[[Les Freres corses]]'' is a French play by Eugène Grangé and Xavier de Montépinthe.

==The original text==

The play is dramatization of the French novella ''[[Les Frères Corses]]'' by Alexandre Dumas, père (1802–1870)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Dumas], first published in 1844 by Souverain. The work tells the adventurous story of two conjoined brothers who, though separated at birth, can still feel each other's pains and fears and seek to aid each other.

==Translations and adaptations==

Translated and adapted into English as ''[[The Corsican Brothers]]'' by Dion Boucicault (1820-1890)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dion_Boucicault]. Boucicault's version was written for the actor-manager Charles Kean and it was first performed at the Princess's Theatre on 24 February 1852, directed by Kean, who also played both of the brothers. It went on to become a hugely popular melodrama, much performed in the late 19th century.
