Where it came from
Dick Turpin, written by Paul Reakes and published by Samuel French in 1995, is a play script designed primarily for amateur theatre groups and school productions. It emerged during a period when Samuel French was actively expanding its catalogue of accessible, lighthearted dramas and pantomime-style scripts intended to be performable by casts of varying experience levels.
The play draws on the long-standing British cultural fascination with the historical highwayman Dick Turpin, reimagining his notorious life through a theatrical lens suitable for stage adaptation. Paul Reakes, a prolific playwright in the community theatre circuit, focused his design on pacing and comedic timing, creating a structure that allows for regional troupes to emphasize local references and broad character archetypes.
