An English Lass is a 1887 Australian play by Alfred Dampier and C.H.
Krieger about Margaret Catchpole, based on a book by Reverend Cobbold.
[3][4] The Evening News said "the piece is disappointing.
It relies too much on tricks of plot and stage effect, without making any use of the story as means for the subtle development of character, and without any charm of wit or wisdom in the language... two or three of the scenes are laboriously constrained and far-fetched, and this disregard of probability marred the effect of the few genuine touches of nature which stood out [ ]aintly amidst the surrounding conventionality.
"[5] The Sydney Morning Herald called it "an interesting play".
