==The original text==
 
 
 
This is actually a later title for Dion Boucicault's ''[[The Poor of New York]]'' (1857), which was closely based on ''[[Les Pauvres de Paris]]'' by Edouard-Louis-Alexandre Brisbarre and Eugene Nus ((1856). For the original play Boucicault collaborated with three journalists, Seymour, Goodrich, and Warden (though Boucicault did most of the writing). ''[[The Poor of New York]]'' was first performed at Wallack's Theatre, New York, in 1857, to poor critical response, but popular with audiences.
 
 
 
The play was adapted and billed under a vast number of names, including  ''[[The Streets of New York]]'', ''[[The Poor of Liverpool]] (and then adapted to the location where it was to be performed), ''[[The Streets of Islington]]'', etc. In the British colonies it was best remembered as ''[[The Streets of London]]'', or ''[[The Streets of Dublin]]''.
 
 
 
First performed as ''[[The Streets of London]]'', at the The Princess Theatre, London, on 1864, the play received mixed reviews, though  the scenery was an immediate success.
