Forged: A Life Drama, of English and Australian Interest is a 1873 Australian stage play by Arch Murray.
[1] The story was inspired by Bully Hayes.
[3] Leslie Rees commented: Judging from the text the play is actable, but the character of Wayes as an interesting and dominating scoundrel is insufficiently developed.
The characters make revolutionary decisions without warning the reader — a common fault of the inexperienced dramatist, though not to be taken too seriously in melodrama.
The play has some historical value as emphasizing the notorious fascination of The Gap for wouldbe suicides—even in 1873.
