Ben Landeck (1864–1928) was a prolific British playwright, who wrote melodramas often in collaboration with Arthur Shirley.
[3] Plays written with Shirley include A King of Crime,[4] Saved from the Sea, Tommy Atkins, Jack Tar, A Lion's Heart, Women and Wine, The Women of France, and The Savage and the Woman.
[7] In 1923 the Lyceum Theatre in London produced the melodrama What Money can Buy by Landeck and Shirley.
[8] Although it was described as a "drama of modern life" the plot owed its dramatic roots to nineteenth-century melodrama which was enhanced by being performed against a background of music.
[9] In a collaboration with Oswald Brand he wrote The Adventures of Dr Nikola which was performed in London in 1902.
