The Man Who Was is a play by F. Kinsey Peile (1862–1934)[1].
Contents
The original text
Based on the eponymous story by Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) [2], that first appeared in Macmillan’s Magazine of April 1890 and Harper’s Weekly on 15 April the same year. Though Kipling initially objected to the introduction of a "love interest", he finally agreed to Peile's stage adaptation being performed by Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree (1853-1917) at His Majesty's Theatre on 8 June. Tree later performed it at Drury Lane in London in 1907, and toured with it in theatres and music-halls, playing the part of "Limmason".
The text was first published in 1903 by unnamed publisher.
