The Ticket-of-Leave Man (play)
''The Ticket-of-Leave Man'' is an 1863 stage melodrama in four acts by the British writer Tom Taylor, based on a French drama, ''Le Retour de Melun''. It takes its name from the Ticket of Leave issued to convicts when they were released from jail on parole. A recently returned convict is blackmailed by another man into committing a robbery, but is rescued thanks to the intervention of a detective. It has been described as probably being the first play about a detective. The play introduced the character of Hawkshaw the Detective, with "Hawkshaw" becoming a synonym for a detective. It was not well received by critics, but proved very popular with audiences and was constantly revived, becoming one of the standard works of Victorian melodrama. First production The play was first produced in March 1863 at the Olympic Theatre in London.
