''[[The Dead Heart]]'' is the main title of an "Adelphi Historical Drama", consisting of a prologue and three acts, by Watts Philips ()[].

The play is also referred to as ''[[The Dead Heart, or The Storming of the Bastille]]'' and ''[[The Dead Heart: A Story of the French Revolution]]''

==The original text==

The play, based on unnamed sources, was apparently written in 1856 and first performed at the Adelphi Theatre. Watts was later accused of plagiarizing Dickens's ''A Tale of Two Cities'', though his work had been written long before Dickens's story was serialized in ''All the Year Round''. (See Falconer, 1921, pp. 5-7)

A revised version of the play by Walter Herries Pollock was performed as ''[[The Dead Heart: A Story of the French Revolution]]'' at the Lyceum Theatre, London, on 28 September, 1889, and published in the same year by [[Samuel French]].
