Notes Oxenford's primary interest was in the theatre and over sixty-eight plays are attributed to him. His first play was My Fellow Clerk, produced at the Lyceum Theatre in 1835. This was followed by a long series of pieces, the most famous of which was perhaps the Porter's Knot (1858) and Twice Killed (1835). He adapted Mrs Henry Wood's East Lynne for performance in 1866.
