Robinson Crusoe, or The Injun Bride and the Injured Wife is a burlesque written by W.S. Gilbert, Henry J. Byron, and others

Creating the play was obviously a major group effort, as often the case with burlesque, and one is not quite sure of all the authors involved in the project. For example, Andrew Crowther (2000)[1] mentions the following co-authors: Thomas Hood, H. S. Leigh, and Arthur Sketchley, while the Yale University Library's "Guide to the W.S. Lewis Collection of W.S. Gilbert Manuscripts and Letters"[2]) gives the co-authors as Thomas Hood, Henry Sambroke Leigh, William Jeffery Prowse, and George Rose.

The original text

This is one of three works written (or at least co-written) by Henry J. Byron, all based on Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe. The others are a burlesque called Robinson Crusoe, or Harlequin Friday and the King of the Caribee Islands!(1860) and a pantomime called Robinson Crusoe, or Friday and the Fairies(1868).

First produced at the Haymarket Theatre, London on 6 July 1867.
