Colin Henry Hazlewood was an nineteenth-century English playwright. He began his career as a comedian on the Victorian stage and turned to writing melodramas, farces, and burlesques. He became a regular fixture at the Britaania Saloon in Hoxton, London, for whom he wrote and produced many shows and is believed to have been paid about fifty shillings per act. Today Hazlewood is synonymous with the Victorian melodrama and his best known works are adaptations of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's novels Lady Audley's Secret and Aurora Floyd.
