Uncle Tom's Cabin

George L. Aiken (1830-1876) was a nineteenth century American playwright and actor who is best known for writing the most popular of the numerous stage adaptations of Harriet Beecher Stowe s Uncle Tom s Cabin. Aiken was a writer of dime novels before he turned to theatre. He became an actor in the troupe of his cousin, George C. Howard. In 1852, shortly after the publication of Stowe s Uncle Tom s Cabin, Aiken wrote his stage adaptation. His other works include a dramatization of Ann S. Stephen s novel The Old Homestead. He retired from the stage in 1867.
