'''''Venice Preserv'd''''' is an [[English Restoration]] play written by [[Thomas Otway]], and the most significant [[tragedy]] of the English stage in the 1680s. It was first staged in 1682, with [[Thomas Betterton]] as Jaffeir and [[Elizabeth Barry]] as Belvidera. The play was soon printed and enjoyed many revivals through to the 1830s. In 2019, the [[Royal Shakespeare Company]] staged a modern adaptation, ''Venice Preserved'', at the [[Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Venice Preserved |url=https://www.rsc.org.uk/venice-preserved/ |website=Royal Shakespeare Company |access-date=16 August 2019}}</ref>
