"Lafitte" by Lucile Rutland and Rhoda Cameron is a play presented in a prologue and four acts that was likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set against a backdrop of historical conflict, focusing on characters embroiled in the complex politics of early 19th-century France and America. The central figure, Jean Lafitte, is a notorious pirate who navigates a morally ambiguous world, intertwining his fate with characters like Mariana d’Acosta, a young woman caught between duty and love. The opening portion of the play begins in a beautiful garden in Bayonne, France, introducing characters such as Don Manuel and Marquis d’Acosta, who are contemplating their uncertain future under Napoleon's rule. As they discuss family dynamics and romantic interests, the plot begins to weave themes of loyalty, love, and ambition, particularly through the romantic tension between Jean Durand, who is later revealed to be Jean Lafitte, and Mariana. The scene sets the stage for ensuing conflicts as various characters express their motivations, fears, and hidden connections, hinting at dramatic events to unfold as the narrative progresses.
