 ===The original text===
-Probably the best known version of Scott's play was a drama in three acts done by Dion Boucault ()[] in 1860. Originally entitled ''[[Jeanie Deans]]'' after the heroine of the novel, it was first produced on 9 January 1860 at Laura Keene's Theatre, New York City. Widely performed afterwards, under several different names.

 Another obviously widely used text would have been the "collated" version by [[Thomas Hailes Lacy|Lacy]] referred to above.

 The history of the many and intertwined stage versions of the popular novel is a most complicated story, that includes many unlicensed adaptations of Scott's work produced for the stage after its initial publication. For example , according to Allardyce Nicoll (1930: p.93, footnote 5), 1818 saw versions by Dibdin Terry, Dimond, Montague and Jervis, plus one by an anonymous author. In 1824 a version by W. Murray was performed in Edinburgh.
-An interesting publication in this regard is ''[[The Heart of Mid-Lothian, or The Sisters of St Leonard's]]'', the text of a drama in three acts ascribed to and published by [[Thomas Hailes Lacy]], London in 1850 and said to be "''(a)dapted from Sir Walter Scott's novel, with introductions from T. Dibdin's play, W. Murray's alteration of the same, Eugene Scribe's opera, and Dion Boucicault's amalgamation of the above, Colin Hazlewood's adjustment and re-adjustment, J.B. Johnstone's appropriation, and other equally original versions, together with a very small amount of new matter, by T.H. Lacy''".

Johnstone's appropriation, and other equally original versions, together with a very small amount of new matter, by T.H. Lacy''".
 In addition, a number of authors, using alternative titles, also borrowed (sections of) the plot for plays such as ''[[Filial Duty]]'' (McClaren, 1819), ''[[The Whistler]]'' (G.D. Pitt, 1833), ''[[La Vendéenne]]'', an Italian adaptation by Paul Duport (first performed 24 July 1837) etc. .
