The Ginger Cat and Other Lost Plays is a collection of plays by Anglo-Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, edited and with an introduction by Darrell Schweitzer. It was first published in hardcover and paperback by Wildside Press in 2005.
The collection includes three of Dunsany's more obscure plays, only two of them previously acted and only one previously published. "The Ginger Cat," a comedy, in production in summer, 1914, was canceled at the outbreak of World War I. "The Murderers," a crime melodrama, had one known performance in 1919, at Yale University during a visit by the playwright. "Mr. Faithful," another comedy, was written and performed in 1922; an acting edition published by Samuel French in 1935 is now a rarity. The editor reproduced the first two plays from Dunsany's manuscripts, and the third from a photcopy of the acting edition.[1]
