Harry Pleon

Harry Pleon was a British writer associated with popular stage entertainment in the late 19th century. Project Gutenberg and Open Library both list him as the author of A Vision of Venus; Or, A Midsummer-Night's Nightmare, and Open Library also connects his name with other comic or theatrical works including Been Had, Drolleries and Dramas Up to Date, On the Brain, and Peck's Bad Boy.

The surviving title most easily found today is A Vision of Venus, a farcical play in two acts and eight tableaux. The text itself notes that it was produced at the Britannia Theatre in Hoxton on March 20, 1893, which places Pleon in the busy world of popular London theater rather than in the more formal literary tradition.

Some reference material also links Harry Pleon to songwriting and music-hall circles of the same period. Clear biographical details about his life are limited in the sources I could confirm, so the outline that remains is necessarily partial: he appears to have been a working writer for the Victorian stage whose humor, spectacle, and theatrical energy still come through in the work that survives.
