Dramatization of Bulwer's novel by Louisa Medina, the in-house playwright for the Bowery Theatre, New York, 1830s, rendered to be staged by the Bowery cast, notably actor-manager T. Hamblin. Both novel and play depict the 1st century corrupt Roman culture, ending on the volcanic destruction of Pompeii (which provided the play's spectacular climax).
