A Convict's Sweetheart

A Convict's Sweetheart is a 1906 Australian play performed by Edward Irham Cole's Bohemian Dramatic Company. It may have been written by Cole.[1]

The play was called "an English rural piece dealing with gambling and drink"[2] and "a thrilling drama of the early Australian days."[3]

The Sunday Sun said "The leading characters were well sustained by Vene Linden, W. H. Ayr, and Percy Goodwin, who were ably supported by the other members of the company."[4]

The play was revived on several occasions.[5][6]
