Hands Up, or Ned Kelly and His Gang is a 1900 Australian play by Edward Irham Cole about Ned Kelly.

[2] Cole performed it, originally with his Wild West Dramatic Company (which he ran with "Texas Jack"), then with his own Bohemian Drama Company.

[7] The Brisbane Courier said "The performance... went very well through-out, and was freely applauded, the various thrilling events of the drama being graphically portrayed by the various members of the company, who seemed thoroughly at home in their delineations of the rougher parts of bush life.

"[8] The Melbourne Herald noted that "a departure from the usual rule observed in dealing with the bushrangers is made, in that the police are not held up to ridicule, but are treated with a respect not always accorded the "force."...

The author has striven to portray the history of the outlaws, as far as the stage allows, rather than to present overdrawn, sensational pictures.
