The Red Rover, or The Mutiny of the Dolphin is a nautical drama in two acts by Edward Fitzball (1792–1873)[1].

The original text

Based on the much dramatized novel The Red Rover: A Tale by James Fenimore Cooper, published in Paris on November 27, 1827.

It was one of 4 adaptations that appeared in London in 1829 alone, but by far the most popular. (Undeservedly so, according to Marianne Philbrick in her 1991 introduction to Cooper's novel[2]).

The play was performed 9 February, 1829 in the Adelphi Theatre, London and went on to become a popular and even influential performance piece for more than 25 years. Published by John Dicks (1928?) and John Cumberland, (1831?).

South African productions

1847: Performed on 2 June by the 90th Light Infantry in the Amateur Theatre, Cape Town, with the farce No. 23, John-Street, Adelphi (Buckstone)
