£SD, or One of the Crowd is a 1882 Australian play by F. R. C. Hopkins. [1] [2]
The play was set in Sydney and was produced by Alfred Dampier. [3] [4] [5]
The play was based on the novel Mountjoie and was devised as a vehicle for Dampier. It was not as successful as other Dampier-Hoopkins collaborations. [6]
The Sydney Morning Herald said "Mr. Dampier has, for a wonder, a somewhat repellant part-that of a hard, unscrupulous man, who has risen to fortune by the suicide of a friend, whose ruin he has caused; but the power of his acting compels admiration, and is all the more manifest by reason of the evident difliculty: which anyone who plays such a part has in gaining the sympathy of an audience. " [7]
