Strathmore, or Love and Duty is a tragic play in four acts by John Westland Marston (1819-1890)[1]

Sometimes simply referred to as Strathmore or as Love and Duty - in the latter case it is not to be confused with the Afrikaans play Liefde en Plig ("Love and Duty") by Jan F.E. Celliers (1865-1940).

The original text

First performed on 20 June, 1849, at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London.
