Pizarro

An English translation of Die Spanier in Peru oder Rollas Tod (1796), a tragedy, in five acts by Augustus von Kotzebue.

There are a number of translations of the play, two appearing in the 1790s, alongside an adaptation by Sheridan. The titles also vary considerably, according to the translator. E.g. The spaniards in Peru; or, The death of Rolla (by Anne Plumtre, performed and published 1799?*), Pizarro in Peru, or, The death of Rolla (by William Dunlap, published 1800), or in later editions as Pizarro, or The Death of Rolla. Also known simply as Pizarro, after Sheridan's 1799 version.

The most famous English version the hugely successful adaptation as a melodrama by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, performed and published under the title Pizarro in 1799.
